Discover Knysna’s Most Luxurious Sailing Experience
Set sail with Ocean Sailing Charters, the premier provider of luxury catamaran cruises and private yacht charters on the Garden Route. Based on Thesen Island in Knysna, we offer an unforgettable way to explore one of South Africa’s most beautiful coastal destinations.
Cruise across the sparkling Knysna Lagoon, navigate the iconic Knysna Heads, and venture into the Indian Ocean aboard our spacious, modern catamarans — LaraBella (55ft) and Bella Luna (40ft). Each cruise blends relaxation, adventure, and indulgence, complete with professional crew, comfortable lounges, and breathtaking views.

Choose from a variety of experiences, including luxury sunset cruises replete with a traditional Captain's Braai, scenic daytime sails, private charters, and champagne lagoon trips on our lagoon cruiser Bella Vita.

Enjoy dolphin and seal sightings, paddleboarding, swimming, or simply unwinding with a glass of chilled bubbly in hand.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, hosting guests, or simply treating yourself, Ocean Sailing Charters delivers world-class hospitality, unmatched comfort, and the freedom of the open sea.
