Sailing, Champagne, and Sunsets.
How does it work?
1. The Knysna Waterfront is a hub for everything sailing related.
This is where we are moored and will be welcoming you onto our yacht.
2. We launch from here and gently cruise out onto the Knysna estuary, where we will be hosting the sails for the first leg of our sailing experience.

3. The next part is the exciting part as we navigate our way through the Knysna Heads. You'll be greeted by the vast Indian Ocean while we set our sails for the second leg of this sailing adventure, exploring the coastline of Knysna.

4. Upon our return to the Knysna estuary, the atmosphere changes. We bring out the bubbles and eats. It's time to celebrate life with a bit of chatter, laughter, and soft music while admiring the sunset before making our way back to our mooring.

It's time to sail ⛵️
August is a beautiful month to enjoy a sailing experience and maybe catch a glimpse of some travelling whales. 😀

Let’s face it – the weather is as unpredictable as life and love and although we cannot foresee events (technology is not there yet!) we do have access to Smartphones that have become our ‘go to’ in many situations. Smartphones are now used for tracking, GPS, cameras, videos, near-field communications (Bluetooth), music and weather apps.

Springtide Charters will be battening down the hatches in preparation for the cold front that is due to hit our coastline from Sunday the 7th of July. Over the next few days, our skippers will keep an eye on the conditions, and hopefully, we will have calm seas soon to open sail! Until then, keep warm and safe!”

Please note: We will be on Skeleton staff and might even close at 12 pm, weather depending.

Sailing at sunset 🌇
Experience a sunset cruise in winter. It's the most beautiful time of the year to sail. Sunsets on a yacht are a very special time for anyone who wants to join us and experience the magic that this popular cruise has to offer.

All groomed and ready for a sail.
Outeniqua is back in the water. She's looking all spiffy after a few days outside.
Ready to take long leisurely sailing trips out the heads and into the Indian Ocean.
Let's go sailing ⛵️ 🙌

High and dry for a bit of TLC.
The Outeniqua is standing ready for some action. A nip and a tuck, a lick of this and a touch of that, and she will be ready to take you on your next adventure.

It's not often that we get youngsters on the sailing yacht, but when we do, it's pure joy.
The skipper gave them each a turn to get the feel of driving a boat, and I must say, the pure delight they expressed from this experience was an absolute pleasure to watch.

What a beautiful sky last night 🌙
Watching the sky changing from pink to purple 💜
