The perfect Knysna sundowner, a must do trip! - What a wonderful experience! We had a lovely evening .The weather was perfect and the sea was calm so we could enjoy our full sailing trip hugely! Everything on board was perfect: very friendly crew; clear safety instructions and good life-vests for everyone. Kind help to put the life-vests on. We felt perfectly safe and the braai fillet with salads was roasted to perfection. Warm heartedly recommended sundowner (bubbles included!) trip !

A Great Experience - A lovely evening, we met and checked in 30 mins early as requested, we left on time, sailed to the "Heads" and the Captain decided it was safe to sail from the Lagoon into the Indian Ocean, running parallel to the Coast, returning to the Lagoon for wine and snacks, the experience was well worth taking part in.

Great! - A very nice evening. The crew brought us (one couple) while the other 8 passengers had withdrawn from the cruise fearing bad weather. Markus, Eastman and Ruben were very caring for us and it ended our holiday in Knysna in style. The crew is local and familiar with sailing around the coast , and the meal served very hearty - shrimp, cold meat, French cheese, fruit. Do not hesitate! It is wonderful!

Unforgettable memories made - Captain Steve and his crew was amazing. They were attentive and made our sailing trip an unforgettable experience. We went out into the ocean and enjoyed riding the waves in the very well kept sailing boat. The bubbly and snacks were delicious. I would recommend this excursion to anyone
