Chase

Captain

Martin and Marilyn have invested many years in the hospitality industry. From a successful 5-Star Guest House, which they still run, to restaurants and a previous lagoon charter which so happens to all be here in Knysna over the past forty years. Martin's previous charter was in fact the 'Oyster Belle 1.0' and she has been rebuilt and upgraded to a true one-of-a-kind on the lagoon.


Chase has spent many years in the industry and as a successful captain and long-term Knysna resident, he has much to share as he takes you on your voyage.
