I grew up on the ocean; it gives me peace and joy to be here every day. There's a variety of fish species in the area, and it's just such a wonderful world around here. My Dad was a deep-sea marshal for SAMSA with competitions, and I learned a lot about fishing from him. I love to teach people how to fish and why we have to care for our oceans.

    Fantastic trip!

    Special 7 hours trip for WJ Flett • 6 adults

    We had such a great time with this crew, on the boat and the onshore booking agents! My 10yr old son and I will never forget this. They looked after- and accommodated us (as total rookies/newbies) in an amazing way! Thank you to Ansie, Francois and Nico! Would recommend using them in a heartbeat!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
