Jan Hiddemann5.0VerifiedWonderful Trip
Hout Bay to Robben Eiland Seafari on September 26, 2026 • 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 on December 23, 2025 • 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

4 Hour Morning Light Tackle Seafari on August 16, 2024 • 3 adultsOur experience went beyond all expectations! We highly appreciated the extensive communication with the Captain prior to the trip to receive information and convey our requests. He and the crew went to every length to ensure a successful fishing expedition and give us a great day on the ocean. We highly recommend an excursion with Captain James.

3 Hour Midday Light Tackle Seafari on March 13, 2024 • 4 adultsThe Boat is a beauty, the location is incredible, and the Captain and his crew are the greatest! These guys love what they do and it shows. The Captains knowledge and experience coupled with his love of life on top of the right equipment in the right location and the right price make this trip worthy of a lifetime bucket list adventure. It was amazing, DO IT!
