Hout Bay to Robben Eiland Seafari • 10 adultsWe had a great trip with James and Tim! Our plan was to combine some fishing with sightseeing and wildlife watching, and the trip ticked all the boxes. We got to enjoy the beautiful South African coastline and saw plenty of wildlife along the way, including dolphins, sunfish, and even two whales! On the fishing side, we caught several smaller fish. Of course, we were hoping to land something a little bigger, but that’s fishing! The nature decides what you get on the day, and nothing can be guaranteed. Overall, we were very happy with the experience. Beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, some fishing, and great company. James and Tim made it a really enjoyable trip, and we had a fantastic time. Definitely a memorable day on the water!

4 Hour Morning Light Tackle Seafari - 1:30 PM • 8 adultsinitial dissapoint was when the captain call in the morning and said the trip is cancelled due to crew being sick. I asked if he could get a stand in and he eventually got someone. We were excited once again, and the trip was awesome, we were 10 on the boat and each caught a fish, although we had to share Rods it was fun and a pleasent experiance for all

What's biting with 3 Hour Light tackle Seafari - in Cape Town
The heat is slowly rising. Snoek and Yellowtail are still a fair sight. In rivers, look out for Trout - some of them might literally rattle as they are pulled up from water from all the snails they eat.

Light Tackle Seafari Junior Fishing
Apr 6, 2026 • Cape Town
Junior Fishing - Jan to April 2026 One negative catch where the fish had ‘lock jaw’. As for the rest, each junior since January has caught their prize fish. Some fish got released, some got eaten off the ‘braai’ and some were donated to folk less fortunate.
A special mention for the most inspiring behavior witnessed by an Angler passing his rod over to his friend with a great size fish on it. Well done guy?. Some of us could learn allot from you champ? . Ill keep that moment in my heart forever.
