Garden Route
At a glance
Leisure Isle Boat Club is a small-boat club and harbour facility on Links Drive, Leisure Isle, in Knysna. It is based at the Peter Gordon small boat harbour, providing a practical setting for launching, mooring and storing small vessels on the Knysna Lagoon. The club forms part of the boating landscape of the Garden Route and is focused on access to the water rather than dining or entertainment.
The facilities are designed for boats shorter than 6.1 metres, with a beam below 2.4 metres and a draught of up to 0.6 metres. A limited number of slightly longer boats may be accepted with special approval. This makes the club suited to owners of compact boats and other small craft intended for lagoon use. The harbour provides secure launching and mooring arrangements, while trailer parking supports boat owners who transport vessels by road.
Members have access to walk-on moorings and trailer bays, with limited storage for paddle craft. The arrangement accommodates both permanent club members and temporary members, making the facility relevant to visiting boat owners as well as local users. Temporary membership is available on weekly or monthly terms, while visitors can also use the public slipway for launching subject to a daily fee.
The atmosphere is functional and water-focused, with the harbour providing a base for time on Knysna’s calm lagoon waters. The club suits boating enthusiasts, small-vessel owners, paddle-craft users and visitors looking for an organised launching point on Leisure Isle. It is also relevant to people arranging berth hire or trailer storage rather than those seeking a restaurant, café or conventional leisure venue.
Leisure Isle Boat Club is located at Links Dve, Leisure Isle, Leisure Island, Knysna, 6571, South Africa. Its facilities centre on boating access, storage and harbour use, with membership and slipway arrangements providing the main ways to use the site. The club’s character comes from its practical relationship with the lagoon and its role as a base for small boats in the Knysna area.
