Yacht trip around Langebaan Lagoon.

Let us welcome you on board our graceful yacht, Sea Stallion, for a cruise in the magnificent Saldanha Bay or the scenic Langebaan lagoon. Take a trip to any of the five off-shore islands , or enjoy a sundowner on board while watching a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Island cruise – a two hour trip to view the penguins, Cape gannets, cormorants and other seabirds on the off-shore islands. And the wildflowers in spring, of course! Drinks and snacks provided on board.

Down Winders to Mykonos

Down winders

Paddling for the Langebaan yacht club to Club Mykonos (hobbie beach) or kite surfing from shark bay to main beach outside Pearlys, and the down wind dash (will come back to this one another day.

On a really windy day with an out going tide the big guns (David from Pearlys and a bunch of paddling members from Langebaan Yacht club) will paddle from the Yacht club to the beach known as Hobbie beach next to Club Mykonos, David says it takes about 35 minutes and it’s a great ride, Ive never done it because I cant stay in my paddle ski that long (or maybe a scared!)

The yacht club also holds kiddy paddling classes, they call them guppies, contact David from Pearlys if you want more information.

The other down winder is to kite from shark bay to Pearly’s, if you haven’t been kiting too long you should try this, NEVER do it on your own, so go spend the day kitting at shark bay, instead of packing up and walking back up the hill, kite down to main beach it really does give you a great sense of achievement, you feel like you are out in the bigwide ocean, and normally kiting consist of trying to get back to where you started from enjoy it.
