Pelagic Sharks in Cape Town
Our target species are the magnificent mako and blue sharks as well as the massive yellowfin tuna that they hunt. Whilst not as big and bulky as the great white, the mako certainly does not stand back as it is the fastest shark in the sea and coupled with its beautiful blue and silver coloring is a truly magnificent creature, aptly described by Peter Goadby as “Blue dynamite”.
These trips take place during our summer and autumn months and a variety of shark species are seen as well as being one of the best areas in the world to see pelagic birds. To find these animals we head out into the warm Agulhas current off Cape Point and it is this warm current and multitude of fish species that attract the great predators of the deep. Here the emphasis is on free diving but if you prefer a great time can still be had viewing these beautiful sharks from the boat as they are very curious and often swim up and alongside the boat.
