Sophia is the intimate heart of the Magic Lagoon Charters fleet. A rare mahogany barrel-back with elegant lines and a wonderfully private feel, she carries a maximum of just four guests, making every cruise feel personal and exclusive.

Inspired by the timeless elegance and romance associated with Sophia Loren, Sophia is less about simply going for a boat ride and more about creating a beautiful moment together. Mahogany, calm water, the Knysna Heads ahead of you and very few people aboard — this is cruising at its most intimate.

Departing from Thesen Island, Sophia cruises across the sheltered waters of the Knysna Lagoon to the iconic Knysna Heads and back. Choose a relaxed Sightseeing Cruise, enjoy the golden hour on a Sunset Cruise, celebrate your relationship on a Romantic Cruise, or reserve the entire boat for a Private Cruise.

Sunset Cruises include 4 fresh Knysna oysters and half a bottle of premium local MCC per adult guest. Romantic Cruises include a dozen fresh Knysna oysters and a bottle of premium local MCC for the couple, creating a beautiful setting for anniversaries, proposals and special moments. Non-alcoholic alternatives are available.

Sophia is for couples, close friends and small families who value privacy, atmosphere and the pleasure of experiencing the Knysna Lagoon without rushing.
