8 hp Fishing boats *
Hire a Poppet – they’re suitable for as many as four adults. But there’s more – because the upper reaches of the Knysna River are closed to large-engined motor boats: but with their 8 hp motors, our Poppets are allowed to go all the way…!
And they’re perfect for fishermen… families… friends..
