Knysna Lagoon Fishing
Knysna Lagoon Fishing
Welcome aboard, adventure seekers!
Step into the heart of Knysna's legendary lagoon, where calm turquoise waters meet wild coastal magic.
This is more than a fishing trip — it's a slice of Garden Route paradise, guided by a crew that grew up on these tides and knows every hidden channel, sandbank, and hotspot like the back of their hand.
Our vessel is spacious, comfortable, and ready to host up to 6 guests. There's room to cast, laugh, relax, and soak up the scenery as we glide across one of the most beautiful estuaries in South Africa.
Expect breathtaking views, playful marine life, and that electric anticipation every angler knows — the moment when the rod bends and the fight begins.
Out here, anything can happen. One moment you're drifting peacefully, the next you're locked into a tug-of-war with a fish beneath the surface.
We go after a variety of local favorites — hard-fighting lagoon species that guarantee excitement, challenge, and plenty of action. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, we'll help you reel in memories that stick.
All equipment is provided, along with guidance, stories, and a good dose of captain's humor. Just bring your fishing license, your snacks, your drinks (non-alcoholic), and your sense of adventure.
We practice responsible fishing to keep our lagoon thriving and wild.
Knysna's waters are waiting — are you?
Book your trip, bring your Crew, and let's make a splash!
Please note : charter times may vary according to aeason, weather and tides

Emily Satchell5.0VerifiedHalf day trip with Captain Johann and Quentin
Shark Fishing on February 7, 2022 • 4 adults • 1 childExcellent family trip; Johann and Quentin were very patient with all the family and took time to instruct, support and educate as all while keeping things fun and enjoyable. We were all novices and so needed lots of hand holding. Excellent trip in absolutely stunning surroundings. Would definitely recommend to all and will be back again. The bonus was the restaurant recommendation which was also phenomenal.

Francis Basile4.3VerifiedKnysna lagoon outing
Morning Trip 8 am -12 noon on February 19, 2026 • 2 adultsI had an enjoyable half-day outing with Johan and his first mate. The boat was spacious and the tackle and bait were ample. We didn't connect with the elusive garrick or grunter, but we took home plenty of delicious sea bream. Would happily try again if ever I'm back in Knysna.
