Set Sail on a Wild Coast Boat Trip in Port St Johns
The untamed beauty of the Eastern Cape’s Wild Coast makes it an unforgettable destination for a boat trip, and the tiny town of Port St Johns is the ideal launching point. Nestled at the mouth of the mighty Umzimvubu River, this coastal hub offers breathtaking scenery and access to some of South Africa’s richest marine life.
Hop aboard a yacht or motorboat and cruise the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Throughout the year, you’ll encounter an array of marine creatures—from playful bottlenose dolphins and shoals of game fish to gliding sharks and seabirds. In the winter months, keep your eyes peeled for the awe-inspiring southern right whales.
One of the most exciting times to visit is during the famous sardine run, when millions of tiny silver fish migrate up the coast, attracting a frenzy of ocean predators—and adventurous travellers. It’s a spectacle of nature that turns the ocean into a churning cauldron of life.
Whether you're into wildlife, photography, or simply soaking up the views from the deck, a boat trip from Port St Johns is a must-do adventure on the Wild Coast.
