Whale Watching Tours Cruises and Activities South Africa

Ocean Safaris prides itself on having the right vessels for the job at hand.  Our larger vessel, “Fatboy” (local nickname for a Southern Right Whale), is a custom built 35 foot twin-hull boat, powered by two 200hp outboard motors.  She has a comfortable 30 passenger seating configuration with sufficient space on deck for all passengers to view the animals we encounter.  The vessel is manned by a qualified passenger-vessel skipper and experienced guide.  Safety features include two life rafts VHF Radio and GPS navigation.  This vessel is used for groups exceeding 12 passengers.

Groups of 12 or less are catered for on our 25 foot catamaran, “Dolphin”, powered by two 100hp outboards.  Passengers are seated 3 abreast in four rows, with ample room on the deck for all to get a view of the animals.  A qualified skipper is your guide on the trips.  Standard safety features include VHF Radio and GPS navigation.  All passengers are required to wear the lifejackets supplied for the duration of the trip.
There is adequate space on our vessels for each passenger to bring a bag and/or camera bag.  Please bear in mind that any equipment taken aboard is at your own risk.
