The Knysna Yacht Company builds the Knysna 440 and Knysna 480, Angelo Lavranos-designed, fast cruising catamarans. The company is based in Knysna, Southern Cape, South Africa, a picturesque town with a proud tradition of quality boat-building dating back to the 1830s.

Numerous famous sailboats have been built here, including 'Voortrekker' and 'Albatross II', a Cape-to-Rio winner.

The Knysna estuary meets the Indian Ocean at the famed Knysna Heads – a challenging passage under sail and one of the best places in the world for sea trials.

Knysna Yacht Company produces the highest quality, yet competitively-priced cats, hand-crafting just five yachts a year. Learn more about the Knysna 440 and Knysna 480.
