Pamela, the 9-passenger Dauntless Cruiser, is a stunning mahogany boat built in South Africa, often referred to as the “James Bond Boat” due to her sleek design and luxurious appeal. Built in 2005, Pamela is celebrated for her classic craftsmanship, rich varnished Mahogany, and timeless style, making her perfect for memorable cruises on the Knysna Lagoon.

Pamela is ideal for leisurely cruises rather than high-speed adventures. The boat’s charm lies in its elegance and the sense of tranquility it offers while gliding through the water. With her bowrider layout, she provides excellent vantage points for capturing stunning photos and videos, making every moment on board Instagram-worthy. However, she is best suited for fair weather, as her design prioritizes aesthetics and comfort over all-weather capabilities.

Pamela is perfect for those seeking an exclusive and refined experience on the lagoon. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a day out with loved ones, a cruise aboard Pamela allows you to relax and take in the beauty of the Knysna Lagoon at your own pace. With her reputation as the smallest licensed pub in South Africa, Pamela offers a unique twist to your cruising experience, ensuring a delightful and memorable time on the water.

Experience the classic lines of Vintage Pamela for your next special occasion or leisurely outing on the Knysna Lagoon.

  Sailing around the beautiful bay in a surprisingly old but exceptionally well looked after boat.
Unfortunately we were delayed, due to circumstance out of our control. Peter was very accommodating with us & didn’t charge us again as we rescheduled.Peter was a very knowledgeable, friendly person who made the trip very special with his wealth of knowledge & easy manner.I would definitely recommend this boat ride.Nick & Joan B

  Perfect hour tour to the Heads. Very informative tour and intimate as well. I highly recommend it
The best boat cruise I have ever experienced in comparison to Durban and Cape Town cruises that I have done before. Very intimate and the Caption was very informative about the surrounding area as well. I highly recommend it.

  Very nice cruise to the Heads & back
We were lucky to a sunny calm day for our 1hr cruise. Blankets were available as it did get chilly at the Heads. Dillon was a very good engaging guide. Recommend

  It was our first time In knysna with my group of 8people,and we definitely didn't want to leave knysna without going on a boat cruise,we booked a private cruise for ourselves with Magic Lagoon Charters and it was definitely worth the experience,from the time of booking the cruise until we finally went on the cruise we were communicating effectively I did not struggle at all with communication and receiving feedback,the boat cruise team was so kind to us when we missed the day of our boat cruise they were kind to allow us to come the next day,they welcomed us with love and so much warmth 😀 we felt more like a family...we were all happy and had a memorable moment 🥰

  We went on a sunset cruise to the Knysna Heads with Magic Lagoon charters. Dylan was our excellent skipper, very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He gave us a lovely experience and so much info on the history of the area, the lagoon and other  activities we can do.
