Our offices are on Thesen Harbour Town and our sailing vessels depart from the Knysna Yacht Club in front of the Knysna Quays waterfront. We traverse the Knysna Lagoon and sail through the Knysna Heads to Buffalo Bay, Noetzie or Plettenberg Bay for day sailing adventures and offshore sailing to St Francis Bay, Mossel Bay or Hout Bay, Cape Town for logging coastal passages. Coaching by professional skippers we facilitate unforgettable sailing experiences.

Either test the waters, log some day/coastal sailing or become a qualified skipper through our SA Sailing accredited courses in Knysna. SAMSA accredited for Marine Radio Telephony Courses and Examinations. i.e. Short Range Certificate (SRC) VHF Radio License.
