Sail the Knysna Lagoon and beyond aboard LaraBella, our 55-foot flagship luxury catamaran, on a private cruise designed for you and your group.

Your journey begins on the tranquil waters of the Knysna Lagoon, surrounded by forested hills, secluded bays and the spectacular scenery of the Garden Route. As you cruise towards the iconic Knysna Heads, keep watch for the rich bird and marine life that call this unique estuary home. Playful Cape fur seals, dolphins and, in season, whales may make an appearance along the way.

Weather and ocean conditions permitting, LaraBella will sail through the famous Knysna Heads and into the Indian Ocean – an experience few visitors get to enjoy from the comfort of a luxury sailing catamaran. Feel the wind fill the sails as you leave the sheltered lagoon behind and experience the freedom of sailing along the Garden Route coastline.

LaraBella is more than a boat – she is your private floating escape. With generous space across her expansive trampolines, covered outdoor seating and comfortable lounge areas, there is plenty of room to stretch out, take in the views and enjoy the journey at your own pace.

On board you’ll find a fully stocked bar, wine cooler, coffee machine, outdoor shower, sound system, guest bathrooms and a spacious saloon. Her sleek design combines the thrill of genuine sailing with the comfort and elegance of a luxury yacht.

Whether you are travelling as a couple, family or group of friends, a private LaraBella cruise gives you the freedom to relax, celebrate and enjoy Knysna from a completely different perspective. The cruise can also be enhanced with pre-booked extras such as oysters, gourmet snack platters, a braai, private chef, live music or professional photography.

Whether you want to explore, relax in the sun, celebrate with friends or simply experience the thrill of sailing through one of South Africa’s most spectacular coastal landscapes, LaraBella offers a sophisticated way to experience Knysna from the water.
