Algoa Bay Marine Charters Whale Watching Port Elizabeth
On Thursday 24 January, Sarah joined AB Marine on a Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour: Sarah says: It’s quite a strange experience at first at 5:30 in the morning... you step out onto the boat, with all your anticipation and excitement. And the sea is still, and a painful silence of the ocean just waking up as you are makes you wonder if you’ll actually see anything. And then from nowhere, one dolphin, five dolphins, 10 dolphins and then what seem to be hundreds encompass you and bring …
On 06/01/2019, Bronwyn Ackhurst joined AB Marine on a Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour: Bronwyn Ackhurst says: We spent an amazing Sunday morning on the water, with Rainer and his crew, and saw some spectacular sights including our cruise alongside a huge pod of dolphins - they were so close and playful that we could almost reach out and touch them.

On 09/08/2018, Alan Straton joined AB Marine on a Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour: Alan Straton says: I have been on a number of trips with AB Marine and the one on 9 August was one of the Top TWO most special. A cold day greeted us as we left the Port of Port Elizabeth and ventured out into Algoa Bay in search of the migrating Brydes Whales. Little did we realise that we would experience an extremely close encounter with two whales of a different kind... Just as the vessel began …
On 05/02/2019 at 12:15 pm, Rainer skippered the Expert Tours Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to St Croix, leaving from PEDSAC at 12:15 pm. After a quick morning trip in a light aircraft to spot bait balls, whales and dolphins we left the Port of Port Elizabeth to the area off St Croix where we had first spotted activity. On board was a team from the German Magazine, GEO, along with two other guests (GEO is a family of educational monthly magazines similar to the National Geographic magazine. It is known for its detailed reports and pictures). A fast ride out to St Croix and we spotted diving birds with tell …
On 24/01/2019 at 09:30 am, Kyle skippered the AB Marine Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to St Croix. Almost a repeat of our earlier trip this morning, except the Common Dolphins were replaced by Bottlenose Dolphins. Our Guests were enthralled with the Bottlenose Dolphins who swam next to the vessel for the better part of half an hour. When given the choice to return to St Croix for a closer look at the penguins our Guests elected to rather stay with the magical Bottlenose Dolphin pod for as long as they could. So special to share these moments with awesome guests. The following was …

We organised a special trip for these guests as they had to be back at NMU for a 9:00 am start.

The following was spotted: Time Latitude Longitude Species …

And the sea is still, and a painful silence of the ocean just waking up as you are makes you wonder if you’ll actually see anything.

Kind of like the quiet before the …
