3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on March 22, 2023 • 2 adultsWe had a glorius day on the water! First time catching a Yellow Fin, and seeing penguins and seals in the wild. The Captain and First Mate could not have been more accomodating and the boat was first rate. Would do this trip again!

3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on August 27, 2026 • 2 adultsI can’t say enough about this experience. Alan and Anton were knowledgeable about fishing and wildlife viewing and were very accommodating. Small details like bringing us sandwiches was icing on the cale! Starting with my husband’s favorite part, the fishing, it was a fabulous trip. Because this is a slow period for yellow tail, we decided we would be happy with a couple of fish. Alan quickly put us over a ton of fish. It seemed like we were bringing in one after another for quite a while! My husband was thrilled! Because I mentioned my quest for wildlife, Alan showed us Cape Seals, Humback whales, African penguins, and many aquatic birds as we transited to/from fishing spots. I was thrilled!! When in Cape Town again, i will ensure that we book again with Alan and his crew!
