Overview

Step aboard a magnificent schooner and enjoy a relaxing evening along the Garden Route coastline. This sunset cruise from Mossel Bay combines authentic sailing, coastal landscapes, and remarkable marine wildlife in one memorable experience. Visit Seal Island, home to approximately 4,000–4,500 Cape Fur Seals, while your onboard guide shares fascinating insights into the colony. Continue past Cape St. Blaize, its historic lighthouse, and the remarkable Khoisan Sea Caves, which can only be seen from the water.
