5.00We had a wonderful relaxing sunset cruise. The Captain & Staff were attentive, friendly & helpful. Nothing too much for them to give us the best and memorable experience. The food was also delicious. I highly recommend this cruise on Lara Bella, I would love to do it again.
Pretty good

4.00I had a great time sailing on the catamaran the experience itself was a lot of fun and the staff were very friendly and professional, which I really appreciated. The trip also included a barbecue, which tasted really good, although there was only one type of meat available. However, I personally found the price a bit high for what you get and for the duration of the trip. Even though the duration was clearly stated in advance, I still felt the overall value didn’t fully match the cost.
Beautiful trip on the water with delicious food and wine

4.00Lovely trip on a very large comfortable catamaran. The crew were very friendly, attentive and safety conscious. The drinks were free flowing and reasonably priced. The food was absolutely amazing. Sunset from the boat was worth the trip. Slightly disappointed that they had no white wine by the glass so you had to buy a bottle. A nice trip meandering around the lagoon and out through the knysa heads to the sea. Definitely recommended.
Luxurious

5.00Probably the most luxurious, well skippered and crewed sunset cat experience that we have done in Africa. From the welcome to the disembarkation, we found the service faultless. We highly recommend this splurge on an excellent activity in Knysna.
Best Boat trip in Knysna

Disappointing

2.00We booked an sunset, but due to bad weather we took the morning cruise. A beautiful boat, small group, but we went with hope to see animals. And seen none. But from the 2/2,5 hours there was just max 25 minutes at open sea, and there was time spent to go to another Harbour, for obviously commercials reasons. I would say: do that in your own time. There was no explaining anything about the area and things to be seen. Maybe when you want to party, it is ok to just sail and hear loud music, but we are here in SA only once in a lifetime and traveled a long way to see things we normally don't see. I know you cannot force nature, but I felt like no effort was put into finding the animals, or spent some extra time at places where it is more likely to see. Shame
Highlight of our stay in Knysna

5.00An absolute must. There is no better way than taking in the natural beauty of the Knysna Heads than by sailing past them. Ocean Sailing Charters was fantastic to communicate with from the first moment of inquiry. The professional team made it a great experience and we enjoyed some bubbly and a perfectly BBQed steak on board. Definitely recommend it!!
Best experience by far…
