“GREAT GUYS, GREAT CATCH, WOULD DEFINITELY REBOOK!”

We had a great time with the guys from Cape Boat Chartes. Started early, got to see a lot of furred seal, caught big yellow tail and got to see Cape Point from the Boat. I have to mention that both uf us (My girlfriend and me) were bloody beginners but caught a lot of fish anyways. My girlfriend and me would definitely do this or an even longer trip again. Thank you!

“WOW. WHAT A MORNING”

We were looking for a 3 hour rather than 6 hr trip and took time to chose our charter...

Alan and Geoff took us out from False Bay Yacht Club on the most amazing experience of our lives. For two elderly and experienced global travellers, Tim and I saw some great penguins, seal colonies and a 500+ pod of dolphins swimming alongside, before Tim saw some of the rare seabirds unseen apart from the currents off Cape of Good Hope.

With Geoff’s guidance to the shoals we landed some amazing tuna and decided to stop after 4, the fish being a present to our hosts.

Immaculately managed by Alan, it was hard to describe the amusing banter and care also to Tim who is partially disabled, hearing of sea wrecks and sitting back @ the yacht club thinking, did we really just do that?! Huge best wishes to Geoff on his masters in marine biology on hump backed whales, would love bring my daughter back to visit xx

“PLENTY CATCH DURING MOM & SON DATE”

Alan & Jeff took my son (12) and me out to create a memory of our life in the South Peninsula and to actually catch some fish! The weather and views were glorious showing Cape Point from the sea side. It was a little quiet until Jeff spotted bird activity which indicated a shoal of yellowtail - the other boats soon followed but we were first bringing in 3 medium and one large yeloowtail! As we are locals, we could take the full loot home and enjoyed it on the braai (and in our freezer!).
Thank you guys, it was excellent.

“GREAT END TO THE YEAR, FISHING FOR YELLOWTAIL”

Had a fantastic trip on Dec 31 with my family. Alan and Nick made sure we were all had a good time and did a great job of finding the best place to get a catch. We were all thrilled to catch a good sized yellowtail each and had great fun catching mackerel when the yellowtail stopped biting! Thanks guys!

“OFFSHORE YELLOWFIN TUNA FISHING TRIP”

Without hesitation I’d highly recommend that you entrust your special trip to Alan Blacklaws from Cape Boat Charters. Alan was recommended to me and I’m pleased to pass on the recommendation.

Alan has expert local knowledge, coupled with an amazing network of contacts for up-to-the-minute information about the location of fish & birds. Because the launch is from historic Simonstown, there’s the added bonus of seeing the Simonstown naval base, Boulders beach (African penguin colony) and Cape Point, all on the trip out to the fishing area.

We joined Alan for the offshore trip targetting yellowfin tuna, heading 30 miles off Cape Point. We caught 6 yellowfin tuna of around 60-70kg and 1 longfin tuna approx 7kg.

On our trip we saw seals, whales, flying fish and a huge variety of birds.

If you’re searching around for charters don’t even think twice... contact Alan at Cape Boat Charters. You’ll be very glad you did.

“FANTASTIC”

Great Captain and crew, nice boat and fishing gear, with plenty of room for 5 of us all day. Alan made us feel at home from the start and the day just got better by the hour as we landed 42 Yellowtails and Tunas that day - superb experience, definitely will go again as soon as we are back to town.

“AMAZING DAY ON THE WATER”

We had an amazing day fishing on the ocean. Amazing weather, the scenery, the crew are very friendly and always make sure you are taken care of. Caught some large yellow tail and other species too. Our friends kids loved it and would definitely recommend this as a must do. Alan was great fun on the boat. Thank you for the memorable experience!

“GREAT DAY TO DEEP CANYON SOUTH OF CAPE POINT”

Alan and Jeff were exceptional hosts and were very knowledgeable about all the sea and bird life. The fishing also exceeded my expectations and more was delivered than was promised. Saw humpback whales and seals which were an added bonus. Thanks for a great day out! Another tick off the bucket list, highly recommended to all fishing and birding enthusiasts.

“FISHING MADNESS.....”

I had the pleasure to join Alan and his son John twice on their amazing boat to chase down monster yellow fin tuna. With his many many years of experience he put us on the fish every time and the layout of the boat and the top quality fishing tackle mad hauling in those monsters possible.
You will definitely reach the end of the day with a smile on your face and sore muscles.....
Farther and son make a great team and I can definitely recommend them to all who want to give it a go.....
