Our Story
It's just in our blood.
Fishing False Bay since 2009 — built on generations of Cape fishing heritage, and a simple wish: that you get to see what we see every day.
Since 2009
Refreshed and renewed — the only old parts are our experience and our crew
Deep South Fishing Charters was started in 2009 and has recently been refreshed and renewed. Owner Neal grew up in a fishing family — the kind where the tides set the dinner-table conversation. His father is still a commercial fisherman at 83, and that same salt runs through everything Deep South does.
At the helm is Captain Anees, with 20-plus years working the waters of the Cape Peninsula. Whether it's huge tuna, reef fish or yellowtail, he knows every inch of the bay and the tuna grounds.
What gets us out of bed before dawn isn't the fish — it's the moment a guest hooks their first one, or simply experiences our scenic paradise. Seeing people get hooked on this ocean, and sharing what we see every single day: that's the whole point.
What We Stand For
The Deep South way
Born of the sea
Fishing isn't our job — it's our family history, and that heritage comes aboard on every trip.
Safety above all
Conditions are checked before every launch, life vests are aboard for every guest — kids included — and a qualified first mate is on every trip.
We look after our environment
This bay is our home and our livelihood. We fish it responsibly so it keeps giving — catch and release is always welcome.
Your experience is our motivation
First cast or thousandth, eight years old or eighty — the crew coaches, rigs, unhooks and celebrates alongside you.
What makes us different
We run every trip to a structured process: safety above all, your experience as our motivation, and we communicate — anytime, on every channel. So chat with us, and rest assured you're making the right choice.
The Ocean Safari
False Bay never fishes quietly
Even before the first bite, the bay delivers: common dolphins surfing the bow wave, southern right whales breaching at sunset, albatross wheeling overhead and seals tailing the lines. On a quiet day you might even watch a navy submarine slide past Simon's Town. Bring the camera — you'll use it.
The tide waits for no one
