Sharks are wild animals and their presence cannot be guaranteed. In the event that there is no shark activity while on a shark cage diving tour with Marine Dynamics, then a voucher will be offered. This voucher is not transferable – your name and passport number will be recorded on the voucher. If a shark has been sighted from the boat, we will consider that a successful trip. We can guarantee a marine biologist on board who will educate you on our favourite apex predator and other shark species seen. Remember that YOUR CHOICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE and you can be assured that by booking with us you are assisting in the research and conservation of the great white shark. Should sea and weather conditions unexpectedly change while at sea, it may affect your time to dive in the cage. Be assured that this would be unusual as our team does regular weather checks. The transfer fee is non-refundable.

All reasonable precautions to ensure the safety and good health of clients will be taken however; no liability will be accepted for injury or illness before and after the safari.
Fishing
A typical fishing day starts at 06h00 when we leave the marina and head out to the Tuna grounds where we spend most of the day fishing. We usually call "lines up" at around 15h00 which gives us enough time to get back in the harbour at 16h30. (These times are my preferred times but we can tweek them to your requirements if necessary)
Everything You need for a great day on the water is supplied by our Cape Town Fishing Company including breakfast , lunch, drinks and snacks as well as quality well-serviced fishing tackle which is matched as closely as possible to the fish we are targeting on that particular day.
Previous experience is not a pre-requisite as we coach you through each and every move until your fish is alongside.
The cost of the offshore charter is 1800.00 USD for 1 - 4 guest anglers for the day.
We also offer a half day inshore trip when the Snoek or Cape Yellowtail are biting , the cost of this charter is 1250.00 USD
When fishing with CTFC your party has exclusivity on the boat.
I am the owner and skipper of the business and my 25 year old son is my deckhand, we are both English speaking.
In order to secure a booking, a 50 % deposit is required with the balance payable in cash on the morning of the charter. This deposit is 100% refundable should we not put to sea due to inclement weather.
