Captain
Riaan Swart

Member since November 2019 Struisbaai, South Africa
Background
Riaan Swart (Stompie) is the man behind Fishing with Stompie (charters). He loves the sea and fishing, especially when it comes to battling his favourite fish, the Yellowtail. He grew up in this area, so it's fair to say he knows these waters incredibly well! He decided to turn his love for the sea into a secondary career in 2004, when he got his captain's license. He has a lot of respect for these waters, which means that safety is always a priority when fishing with him. His favourite part of his job is helping his customers hook their dream fish – it makes him feel proud! If you're looking to cast your line alongside a friendly and experienced captain who wants everybody to have a good time, Riaan is just the guy for you. Riaan now has two (2) boats. One with an on-board toilet - perfect for the lady anglers and those long trips at sea...

Great fishing day

VERIFIED   Half Day Trip (AM) on December 19, 2023
The crew, boat and the fishing were all excellent. We caught many Yellowtail close off the coast at Struisbaai.
