Simply step aboard and let us take care of the rest. 🥂✨ Nature’s playground awaits – Sail in beautiful Knysna on a luxury catamaran.
Experience Knysna from a different perspective! ⛵️
From relaxed lagoon cruises to sunset sails and ocean adventures, enjoy exceptional views, attentive service and a truly relaxed atmosphere. We invite you to a magical escape on the Knysna lagoon with the Ocean Sailing Charters Family, an unrivalled experience in nature. Our luxury catamarans navigate the iconic Knysna Heads and sail into the Indian Ocean. The Knysna lagoon and coastline has an abundance of interesting bird and marine life and breathtaking views. Being joined by a pod of dolphins, or a friendly seal is an experience which you’ll remember long after the journey has ended. The longer sailing cruises allow for time to anchor in the picturesque Featherbed Bay for a swim in summer. For those that prefer to stay in the calmer waters of the Knysna Lagoon, Bella Vita provides the perfect cruise to enjoy your surroundings in lounge like style and comfort. Our private Catamaran cruises allow for tailor made experiences, include live music, a braai onboard, or you can even hire your very own private chef. Our spacious Catamarans offers the perfect venue for a corporate function, birthday party, year-end function, photoshoot, marriage proposal, or any other special occasion you may have. Speak to our crew to customize a cruise to your liking. Our vessels take a maximum of 12 guests each, offering a feeling of your very own private yacht. LaraBella our flagship vessel is equipped with spacious trampolines, an outdoor shower, a braai, a w**e cooler, a coffee machine, big lounge saloon area, 4 beautiful ensuite cabins, a cash bar and several fridges. We depart daily from Sirocco restaurant on Thesen Island, bookings are essential

Charred. Juicy. Unapologetically South African. 🔥 Beef fillet on the braai, fresh sides on board, and the Knysna Lagoon setting the scene. This is Heritage Day, Ocean Sailing Charters style. 🌊

THE KIDS GET AN ADVENTURE. YOU GET A BREAK.
Travelling solo with the kids doesn’t mean having to do everything yourself. At Ocean Sailing Charters, the crew takes care of the sailing while parents can be present for the moments that matter - from watching the kids spot marine life and seeing their faces light up as the boat sails towards the Knysna Heads, to watching the crew kayak ashore to bring back ice cream.
The cruises offer families the chance to slow down, reconnect and experience Knysna from the water, without the pressure of planning every moment of the day.
Choose an adventure:
+ Lara Bella - a spacious 55ft sailing catamaran for families wanting the full sailing experience.
+ Bella Luna - an intimate 40ft sailing experience, with reduced rates for children.
+ Bella Vita - a relaxed Knysna Lagoon cruise, also with reduced children’s rates.
Because family time doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, all that’s needed is a boat, a little adventure and someone else to take care of the sailing.
