Relax and enjoy a picnic lunch onboard a luxurious sailboat and discover the world famous Garden Route from along the Knysna coast!

Located along South Africa’s world famous Garden Route and surrounded by white sand beaches and lush forest, the town of Knysna is a must visit when in the region! Nestled between the larger towns of George and Plettenberg Bay, Knysna stands out due to its stunning estuary, where the Knysna river empties out into the sea.

Knysna’s marine estuary is teeming with wildlife and if you are lucky, during your lunchtime sailing trip you will also get to see dolphins and whales! A sailboat tour is also the perfect way to experience South Africa’s Garden route, near Plettenberg Bay, with its emerald mountains that plunge straight into the turquoise sea.

Onboard the Outeniqua, Springtide Charters’ sleek 50-ft sailing yacht, you can lounge on deck with a drink in hand and enjoy a delicious snacking platter of savoury snacks, cheeses, and seasonal fruits while you take in the exquisite Garden Route scenery around you of mountain and sea! Unlike other types of boats, sailboats use no motor but simply the skill of the captain and crew to tack in and out of the wind. The resulting experience is both peaceful and thrilling depending on the wind and weather conditions and is sure to provide you with unforgettable memories of South Africa’s Garden Route, from Knysna.
