Category Area Focus

When you first think of Knysna you envision the prettiest of places, surrounded by inviting coastline and lush greenery. One of the most exciting elements of this prominent area in the Western Cape is the Garden Route. There are some hidden gems that are waiting to be explored and the best way to do it is by boat. 
 
A boutique boating experience
 
The Knysna Lagoon is an impressive body of water that attracts many people who want to revel in its beauty, go fishing or play water sports. Magic Lagoon Charters is available for all those who want to cruise around the lagoon in style. It offers a luxurious and unique fleet of boats that one can choose from and individual packages that are tailored to suit your specific cruising needs. 
 
The fleet of boats Magic Lagoon Charters offer includes the Coquette, the Pamela and the Olympic Flame. The Coquette is a 103-year-old Thames River Launch. This makes it the oldest operating vessel in Africa. You can sip on champagne and oysters while feeling like the epitome of old-world class. The Pamela is a Vintage Mahogany Speedboat that promises to deliver a smooth ride as you nip across the clear waters while enjoying the onboard bar and spotting the beautiful marine and bird life that abound. The Olympic Flame is a Motor Yacht that sparkles its way across the lagoon in the most luxe way imaginable. There is ample space to host a yacht party with music, dancing and a delicious light lunch. It's an ideal event idea for a birthday, engagement or special occasion. What could be better than sailing around the Instagram-worthy Knysna Lagoon onboard this magnificent boat? 
 
Select a cruise package 
 
There are 3 cruise options to select from on the Coquette and the Pamela. Book a private, romantic or heads cruise. The packages differ according to the length of the cruise and which boat you book, but all of them allow for an informative tour around the lagoon and between the Knysna heads. Your Captain will point out and explain the surroundings while steering you safely across the lagoon. The Olympic Flame is available for hire for a private or heads cruise. The romantic cruise is better suited to smaller boats, as it offers a more intimate boating experience. Children are welcome on the heads cruises and your dogs are welcome to join you on any private or romantic cruises with prior arrangements. 
 
Snack platters, lunches, fresh oysters and internationally acclaimed bottles of French champagne are available on cruises and you can plan a relaxing meal with personalised menu items catered just for you and your loved ones. 
 
Cruise to get the most from nature 
 
Featherbed Nature Reserve is one of South Africa's natural heritage sites. It is accessible by ferry only and provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Whether you want to spend time learning about the 300 species of fauna and flora spanning the coastal and indigenous forests the reserve offers or bring out the binoculars to find South Africa's national bird the Blue Crane, this is the place for you. You can organise a guided 2,2 km trail walk beside the fragrant fynbos along the coastline until you arrive at the ancient sea caves of the Khoisan people.
