Lauri Hein5.0VerifiedAbove all expectations
Half Day –(AM) on March 10, 2026 • 5 adults
Peter BretschneiderRepeat angler4.3VerifiedContact a bit complicated, trip ok👍
Half Day – Private Trip (AM) on November 11, 2024 • 6 adultsThe contact with the operator Tour South Africa was somewhat complicated. First, we were told to pay the remaining amount online, even though the booking stated that you can also pay the amount in cash to the Captain in dollars. We only found out at 10 PM that we would be starting at 5 AM the next morning. The fishing itself was very good, we caught a box full of hake and some bycatch like shark and gurnard. Top notch for us. A big compliment again to Mabel, I've never seen such a hardworking girl on board.

Neil Liebenberg5.0VerifiedDay trip with captain Nick
Half Day –(AM) on December 27, 2022 • 2 adults • 1 childGreat day out on the deep see at Knysna with captain Nick. Hugely successful trolling catches and some great bottom fishing. The captain's daughter Mabel was a real trooper and helped everyone with the bait and tackle. Nick also did a great demonstration on how to filet the fish after the trip. Great team and highly recommended!
