Step aboard Coquette, a beautifully crafted Mahogany Thames River Launch by Salters of Oxford, built in 1919. Perfect for sightseeing on the Knysna Lagoon in any weather, Coquette offers comfortable seating for up to 14 passengers around two tables. One table is located in the bow, open to the sky, while the other is in the stern under a canopy with drop-down sides.

Originally powered by steam, Coquette exudes old-world romantic charm, making her an ideal choice for honeymoons and proposals (we proudly maintain a 100% success rate!). She is also perfect for intimate gatherings and celebrations with family and friends. Her classic and elegant lines glide smoothly through the water, ensuring a serene and enjoyable ride.

The views from Coquette are breathtaking, with the lagoon offering endless photo and video opportunities, especially during our popular Sunset Cruises. Don’t forget to bring your camera!

Experience the timeless elegance and charm of Coquette for your next special occasion or leisurely outing on the Knysna Lagoon.

Posted on Greg OVerified Absolute stunning evening on the Knysna Lagoon Had such an amazing afternoon. Captain Taylor is just the best. Such good service and had the biggest laughs.Posted on Tom PVerified Great sunset cruise We had a great experience with Magic Lagoon Carters. Booking on line was easy (although could have more detail, later on that). Our captain Unathi did a wonderful job with the boat, took a bunch of photos for us and filled us in on the sights around the lagoon. The food included for the trip was very good and you get to choose the drink you reserved when you get to their reception. Our only confusion was figuring out what we would get on board since the booking system is very generic (ex. Beer, seafood plate, etc). Would be nice to tell you what’s included in the various plates and what drink selections were available but you do get to choose once you check in. We lucked out and no one else booked with our party of 4 so we had a personal charter. Very nice evening, would do it again if ever in the area.Posted on HennerVerified Get down and enjoy Nice quiet tour in an old Mahagini bot without much "sabbling". Beautiful views from the lagoon to Leisure Island etc.Posted on Rob3753Verified Excellent Perfect day for a leisurely trip out on the Lagoon to The Heads. Very enjoyable.
