South Africa Sailing
Most South African commercial sailing establishments won’t require any input from you on the yacht and thus you’re able to sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. Moving quickly over large ocean swells, rising and falling over each wave, is a wonderful feeling - providing you don’t get sea sick. Manned by trained professionals, you will be taken on a memorable ride along the beautiful South African coastline.
South African sailing hot spots include Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Mossel Bay, Plettenberg Bay and Knysna. All of South Africa’s coastal cities have yacht clubs and always welcome new faces. These yacht clubs host sailing competitions, lessons as well as fantastic sailing trips. The False Bay yacht club hosts the biggest and most enthusiastically supported event namely the annual Spring Regatta. This event takes place around the end of September each year and is supported by all the local yacht clubs. It has become very popular over the past 5 years.

Knysna is home to magical lagoons and estuaries that await your exploration. Go sailing for the day in a yacht discovering the wild, but phenomenally beautiful, "Knysna Heads". Admire the fantastic view and sunset whilst sipping on crisp chilled champagne and snacking on oysters. The friendly city of Port Elizabeth offers yacht day trips out of the harbour and along the magical coast line. After admiring the fantastic view, they will stop in a secluded bay and prepare dinner for you. Enjoy a memorable day with friends and family eating great food and admiring the glorious sunset.
South African sailing allows awesome opportunities to snorkel and scuba dive. Getting to unique locations on a yacht means you can discover the mystical kelp forests and wrecks and swim with gorgeous tropical fish and corals. Invite your friends and family and spend your holiday sailing around the picturesque South African coast.
South Africa promises an unforgettable time with fantastic seas, awesome marine life and exquisite views.
