Loved this - Great friendly and knowledgeable crew. There was only 4 guests so it was chilled. We even got a chance to steer! Lovely sunset too 10/10

A fantastic experience - An absolutely amazing trip. Sailing into the lagoon through the heads is an awning experience. We were lucky to have relatively calm water with good wind. We also saw a school of dolphins playing alongside the boat. The dinner platter was delicious and the bubbly very good.

Exciting and exhilarating trip - I personally loved the trip, whilst my wife didn't enjoy it as much, absolutely no fault if an amazing crew.Alex,Eric and Nigel. They were brilliant, Alex a exceedingly competent sailor, and also great story teller of his adventures. The head was rather choppy which my wife didn't enjoy and the seating wasn't comfortable for her, whilst I found it great and exciting. We both though enjoyed the buffet and bubbly and talking to Alex was a pleasure. Thank you all for a really memorable trip

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! - What an amazing experience! Alex and his deckhand was extremely professional, friendly and very informative regarding the Knysna history and knowledge of sailing boats and their experiences Short trip out to sea from the heads was an amazing experience and would recommend this to anyone travelling to Knysna Would definately do the same trip again when in the area

First time on the Indian Ocean - Wow - Nigel and Mark looked after us very well. We were very lucky as there were only 4 of us on the boat so it was very much like a private trip. Unfortunately the only sea life we saw was a seal, but sailing through the heads and into the ocean and return is very exciting. The dinner platter was very good. They coped with my wife’s gluten free allergy very well and texted to check what they were planning worked.

Cancelled at Short Notice - Sadly, despite it, being a beautiful sunny day, our Sunset Cruise was cancelled at short notice. We had been the only couple to have booked that day, and the operator required a minimum of four people to sail. It was so disappointing.
