Knysna Houseboats
Our newly refurbished Houseboats, previously operated by Lightleys Holiday Houseboats, exceed all South African Maritime Safety Authority operational and safety requirements. They are your floating home away from home. We have outfitted them to a high specification, so it is truly a comfortable experience.
Our luxurious self-drive boats have everything you might need and are suitable for up to 4 adults or a family of 5.
Our new charter base is located in sophisticated Thesen Islands Harbour Town, where our staff is available for you between 8:30 am and 5 pm.
We offer all captains a short navigational course. Once you are fully informed and have a good understanding, we will provide you with a temporary skippers license. So don’t worry if you have never piloted a boat before, most of our customers haven’t either!
From our charter base, we offer the following additional services and facilities:
- Pilots that help you feel at ease and park your boat;
- Bathrooms with shower cabins and vanity (Hair dryers are also provided in the showers for women);
- Covered terrace overlooking the estuary where you can relax and have a drink;
- Renting of fishing rods and towable tubes;
- Houseboat services that are carried out at a designated jetty and include the following:
- Fill up with fresh water
- Re-fuelling (if required)
- Cleaning and pumping of toilets
- Check motor cooling system and oil level
- Rubbish removal
- Re-supply LP Gas (if required)
