Incredible day on the water! Justin is friendly, engaging, and a true expert. I really enjoyed being able to ask him about different species, fishing skills, the industry, etc. - and he was very open and friendly about it all! We caught probably 6 different species, as well as grabbed a drink together after, along with some others on the trip. So much fun and eager to get out there again!

Although our trip was considered quite as we didn’t catch much we had a great time. The skipper invited us to dinner at a local fish restaurant where they cooked up our catch and had a few drinks together which made us feel very welcome. If I’m ever in SA again I will definitely make the effort to go out again.

What a great experience with an even greater captain. The passion and effort put into keeping our group on the fish and giving us the best experience possible was terrific! Definitely a 5 out of 5 and I will be going again soon!

It was a pleasure to go out fishing today with Salt Life Charters. They had us on fish right away and the action kept consistent the whole day. We caught several different species and I must say I had a sore arm from reeling in all those fish. The communication pre charter was excellent. Even swung us by Seal Island on the way back. I would recommend a private charter, well worth it. Thanks again for the great days fishing.

Spent the day with Justin and Wian. Unbelievable experience, and the lads were on top form. Full morning of fishing and even got to eat the fish we caught. Caught 50 fish between the 4 of us. Would recommend to anyone stopping in Mossel Bay.
