Our Story

Sailing Has Been Part Of Our Combined Journey For Over 60 Years

family cruise
sailing cruises for small groups
Neil and Celeste have been happily married for 25 years and sailing has been a large part of their journey. Living in Gordons Bay overlooking the Indian ocean, Neil is the principal of two sailing academies and when he is not teaching and coaching you'll find the two of them sailing together out in False Bay on their yacht Southern Cross or anchored in the bay enjoying the tranquility of the ocean.

We believe that small and intimate is best when it comes to your group size, to allow you to get the service and attention that you deserve. No more than six guests will be allowed on any of our charters.
I wanted freedom, open air and adventure. I found it on the sea.

Our Story

False Bay is home to a variety of friendly sea creatures

dolphins swimming

Most of the sea creatures we encounter all year round, but between August and October the humpback whales come into the bay to calf. This is a special time as these large docile sea mammals and their calves are a sight to behold.

  • Cape Fur Seals
  • Brydes & Humpback Whales
  • Bottlenose, Dusky & Humpback Dolphins
  • African Penguins
