Springtide Charters
We offer Close Encounter Whale Watching & Eco Marine Tours and a variety of sublime sailing charters in Knysna, the beautiful coastal town of the Garden Route.
Against a backdrop of exceptional beauty, sailing across Knysna’s expansive liquid landscape on Springtide Charter’s sleek 50ft mono hull yacht is a truly memorable experience.

What a trip, very exciting. Our Captain Sandy explained that we would go through the heads and out to the ocean. He and Nigel checked in with us all that we were happy with the plan. Before we got to the heads we had a safety briefing and put on our life jackets. We moved through the heads and it was really thrilling. We saw a hammer head shark, seal but no whales. We returned through the heads which Sandy and Nigel judged perfectly on a rather large wave. Back in the lagoon we were treated to a lovely sunset with fizzy and light supper snacks. We will do this trip again when we return to Knysna

Really brilliant experience. As self-confessed newbies we were surprised at the lack of instruction. They basically just held the boards while we knelt on them and we had to work out how to paddle, but it was actually dead easy once you got going. We stood up after about 5 mins (or when our knees decided they'd had enough!) and it was all plain sailing from then on. So enjoyable. Obviously the girls were much better at it than the boys....

Great Captain and crew - food really worked well. Just a little chilly in the evening out on the ocean. Wonderful evening :-)
