Meet The Blue Pointer
Proud to present
The "Blue Pointer".
The Blue Pointer is a 10.7m × 3.6m wide Butt Cat, with an upstairs viewing deck, bathroom facilities, and enclosed cabin area. We have the latest Simrad Broadband Radar and VMS System.
We pride ourselves in offering a comfortable, top of the line, fully certified and equipped boat. We cater for only small groups of max 12 plus crew, which means we can offer a more personalised trip in an intimate environment.
We have purposely avoided the mass market like many other operators who cater for 40 per boat. This allows us to deliver the kind of focused, personal experience that defines everything we do at African Shark Eco-Charters.
