Deep Sea Fishing in Mossel Bay

dreamcatcher

Dreamcather is one of the fishing boats operated by Deep Sea Adventures in Mossel Bay

Dreamcatcher, one of the fishing boats of Deep Sea Adventures is a registered passenger charter vessel, has a full SAMSA (South African Maritime Safety Authority) safety certificate and always has a qualified skipper onboard. Our top class skipper has more than 15 years experience and is very safety conscious. We adhere to the highest standard when it comes to presenting a clean, well equipped and safe fishing vessel.

Dreamcatcher so far has a 100% safety Record and is suitable for ladies as well as children

Dreamcatcher is an 8m Buttcat. The boat is equipped with two, powerful 115 Mercury outboard engines. It has GPS (global positioning by satellite) and a Fish Finder onboard. Dreamcatcher also has a toilet facility onboard, comfortable seating and an enclosed cabin with soft resting place for the kids. The boat operates daily from Quay 4, Commercial Slipway, next to the Mossel Bay Yacht Club where all cruises begin and end.  Thus far we maintain a 100% safety record.

Up to 10 people can be taken out to sea at a time with dream catcher

The boat can be chartered for up to 10 passengers or the boat can be yours exclusively! We love children and welcome them aboard, eight years and older. Younger children are not barred, but may not enjoy the experience as much as parents imagined. But from age eight the magic of a sea trip is wonderful to see through the eyes of a child. They must always wear a life jacket and are the responsibility of their parents or guardian while aboard.

2004 ford model T

George Old Car Show shows every year more and more cars

The first George Old Car show was held in 1997 on Paul Fick’s farm, “Blackwood”, near Victoria Bay. Enthusiasts were able
to view the 80 cars on show, with the Lion’s Club organising the food and refreshments. From there on, in 1998, the show
was hosted at the George Riding club with approximately 250 cars and tractors participating. In 2000 the show had grown from strength to strength and a larger venue in PW Botha College was found. The venue offers more than enough space for show cars, tractors, motorcycles as well as large grounds for safe public parking. Various motor clubs attend the show annually with the opportunity to participate in a drive past to exhibit their dream wheels. In 2009 more than 800 cars were on show and for next year an even greater number of exhibitors are expected.

The focus this year at the George old Car show is on tractors and stationary engines

With the focus of the show in 2010 being veteran tractors and stationary engines, it should prove to offer an arrangement
of exciting subjects for all to enjoy. To compliment the variety of old cars on show, “Arts in the park”, food stalls, a
model car show as well as a well stocked beer garden promises to entertain those who have already enjoyed the old car
display to its full potential. Special attention will also be given to kiddies’ entertainment, allowing the parents a stress free show experience.
