What a Privilege to Make Young Dylan’s Dream Come True
On 07/08/2019 at 12:30 pm, Anthony skippered the AB Marine Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to Cape Recife, leaving from PEDSAC. We exited the Port of Port Elizabeth to be greeted by flat seas and a gentle, warm Northerly wind. Kudos to our Swiss Guest, Isabel, who had contacted us last week and said that she had spotted this perfect 4 hour gap in the weather to go out for a spot of Whale and Dolphin spotting- what a champion! Our Mission: To see if we could find the reported White Whale as seen the past weekend as well as the 'playful' Killer Whale seen off of Noordhoek this past Sunday. With a three …
Today was all about the Seals
On 01/08/2019 at 08:30 am, Anthony skippered the Expert Tours Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to Cape Recife, leaving from PEDSAC at 08:30 am. Despite being given temporary permission to enter the Addo MPA and approach the islands closer than 300 meters our guests elected to rather go past Cape Recife and venture offshore to spot whales. On the way there we spotted many seals fishing and, thanks to Anthony, stopped on our way to observe the seal you see in the image above having a 'whale' of a time fishing. As you can see the fish caught were on the large size and took a lot of vigorous shaking and …

The following cetaceans were spotted: Time Latitude Longitude Species Code Adults Calves Behaviour 09h30 BOT 400 Swimming Legend: SRW - Southern Right Whale | HBW - …
Summer in Winter Trip
On 27/07/2019 at 12:10 pm, Rainer skippered the Expert Tours Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to Cape Recife, leaving from PEDSAC at 12:10 pm. We travelled out from the Port of Port Elizabeth in around 5 knots of warm North East breeze towards Cape Recife. Around 1 kilometres out from Cape Recife we spotted the first two Humpback Whales and followed one until about 22 kilometers offshore. The second Humpback followed rewarded us with a breach and then headed out to sea. Returning to the Cape Recife area we spotted two travelling in the direction of the harbour. A passing fishing boat could have startled them …
04/06/2019 Trip – Happy Breach
On 04/06/2019 at 08:15 am, Marius skippered the AB Marine Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to Cape Recife, leaving from PEDSAC at 08:15 am. We were privileged to be joined by 10 ladies from the tourism industry for a Whale and Dolphin Watching trip. There were part of larger group of 20 so one elected to go to the islands whilst our group 'trusted our judgement' and elected to go and see whales at Cape Recife rather. The Humpback Whales are passing by Algoa Bay in ever increasing numbers so hopes were high of a sighting. On the way we sneaked a look at our 'secret spot' for Humpback Dolphins but came …
