Afternoon Trip Itinerary

Itinerary

13h00 : Meet crew at Simons Town Pier.

Guests are welcomed aboard and a full safety and weather briefing is given before departure.

13h15: Depart for Seal Island. (25 to 35 minute boat ride)

13h30 to 16h30: The best spot to anchor up based on weather conditions is decided and we attract sharks to our vessel. Once a shark approaches our boat a small bait is put in the water to keep the sharks interested around the boat for identification and viewing purposes. At no point are the sharks purposefully fed or handled. We do not use shark livers or any other attractants that have a negative impact on the environment and every effort is made to avoid the sharks coming into contact with our vessel.

Snacks accompanied by soft drinks, fruit juice, bottled water are available throughout the course of the afternoon.

17h00: Boat will arrive back in Simons Town Harbour depending on the weather conditions and shark activity.

17h00 onwards: Tea and coffee available at our home base in Simons Town where payment is handled. You will also have an opportunity to browse through our unique range of shark related merchandise.

At the end of the trip we do tow the fake seal decoy and we are successful in seeing a breach 65% of the time which is an added bonus to the trip.
