About This Trip
The most personal
fishing experience in Cape Town
Join us for an exhilarating half-day fishing adventure aboard the Blue Pointer, a fully equipped vessel, as we explore one of South Africa’s most breathtaking stretches of coastline. Guided by our experienced skipper and crew, you’ll set off on an inshore excursion toward Cape Point in pursuit of Yellowtail.
Along the way, take in Cape Point from a perspective few ever see — cruising past the scenic beauty of Smitswinkel Bay and Buffels Bay, beneath the striking Dias Cross, and towards the iconic Cape of Storms lighthouse, perched dramatically amid the cliffs. Keep your camera ready, as this stretch of ocean is often alive with marine life, including seals, whales, and pelagic birds.
Once at the Point, settle in, cast a line, and soak up the wild, panoramic scenery surrounding you. Whether you’re an avid angler chasing an impressive catch or simply looking for a memorable ocean safari, this trip offers the best of both — thrilling fishing and unforgettable coastal views.
Don’t miss this chance to experience Cape Point like never before.

Trip Details
ITINERARY
Leaving Simons Town just as the sun rises over the False Bay mountain range, will leave you breathless at its beauty. The trip itself, to Cape Point, is approximately 45 minutes to an hour during which you will experience encounters with Cape Fur seals, maybe some whales and often some Pelagic birds.
We will find a good spot to anchor and fish. Most of the fishing will be catch and release and you are welcome to take home a fish “ for the pan”.
While heading back to Simon’s Town, don’t forget to take a picture of the incredible Roman Rock Lighthouse! It’s the only lighthouse along our coast that stands on a single rock, so you’ll be carrying a piece of the Cape of Storms history with you.
WHAT TO BRING

IMPORTANT TO NOTE
We have a very high success rate, but we are in the ocean. Please be aware of this, so you do not arrive with unrealistic expectations. There are days when we do not catch any fish. Marine animal sightings and activity are never guaranteed and even during peak whale season, there may be days when the sightings are lower than expected.
