SV Outeniqua

In the heart of Plettenberg Bay, a masterpiece was born. Steff Pepler brought to life the 50ft Sovereign sloop mono hull yacht, Outeniqua, with dreams of sailing the world. But as it turned out, the world had other plans. Instead of taking Steff on a global adventure, Outeniqua has brought the world to Knysna, inviting travellers to experience the thrill of sailing on the stunning Garden Route coastline.

Ocean Odyssey

Ocean Odyssey offers unforgettable marine adventures. Our close encounter, boat-based whale watching tours and marine eco-tours are perfect activities to add to any itinerary in Knysna. We offer three daily departures and a fleet of ocean going vessels. This is the ideal experience for local visitors and international tourists.
