5.00A 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!

5.00A 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 The crew brought us (one couple) while the other 8 passengers had withdrawn from the cruise fearing bad weather.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!
