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.

How to Enjoy Springtide Charters

Sailing across Knysna’s expansive liquid landscape on board Springtide Charter’s sleek 50ft mono hull yacht is a truly memorable experience. A definite must do activity when visiting the Garden Route. Departing daily from the popular Knysna Waterfront, Springtide Charters offers a variety of different sailing charter options. Our highly experienced crew will take to the helm so you can relax and take in the splendour of our rugged coastline; sailing, salt air and scenery all an exhilarating combination.

Knysna is one of South Africa’s premier whale watching destinations, its indigo depths teeming with hundreds of migrating whales. Ocean Odyssey is the only Close Encounter Whale Watching permit holder for the Greater Knysna area. Throughout the year we also offer Marine Eco-Tours. We are passionate about showcasing both the whales that frequent our local waters as well as the many other fascinating species that exist within the complex web of marine life. Trips departing daily from Thesen Harbour Town.

Nipun Shah

Amazing experience. The waters were really choppy the day we went but the reception gave accurate information on what to expect and gave us an opt-out basis our comfort. We decided to trust them and go ahead with the tour. It was the best experience my family had. The guides were patient, followed up on leads that passengers gave them, and were patient in spotting whales. We never felt they were in a rush to reach a spot and turn back. I would highly recommend them.
