Sailing a Catamaran Yacht

For a lavish way to explore the beauty of the Knysna Lagoon and surroundings, opt for this upmarket sailing experience on board a luxury 45-foot catamaran yacht. Best done at sunset, the experience is further enhanced by chilled bubbly, fresh oysters, mezze snacks and occasional sightings of dolphins, seals, birds and whales (in season).

The lagoon, more accurately defined as an estuary, has five freshwater rivers flowing in from the surrounding Outeniqua Mountains meeting with a surge of sea water from the Indian Ocean, through the mighty headlands known as the Knysna Heads – the grand sandstone cliffs towering above the entrance to the Knysna Lagoon. Sail with an experienced and certified skipper who, depending on the weather conditions, will take you into the Indian Ocean. The yacht can take up to 12 passengers.
