This is definitely something I would recommend to a friend, purely because of how unique the experience was. Lots can go wrong on a deep sea fishing trip and there is no team I'd rather have supporting the adventure. read less

He was rewarded with catching 5 large yellowfin tuna, one of which provided us with dinner that night and lunch the next day. This 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience may have to be repeated! We are already talking about how we can arrange for my husband and his son to come again and share and enjoy the beauty of Cape Town and the sea, the power of the fight of the tuna, and the expertise of Sean and Scott! read less
