Whether you're cruising along the Yzerfontein coastline or exploring the rich history and wildlife around Dassen Island, our boat offers a smooth, secure, and unforgettable journey.

Our Skipper

Meet Adré Rheeder

I bring a lifelong connection to both the sea and conservation. With a National Diploma in Nature Conservation, I am not only your skipper but also a guide passionate about sharing the unique ecology of our coastline. My boating background spans more than eight years of competitive inflatable racing, during which I represented Infanta Inflatables, won the Trans Agulhas Inflatable Boat Race, achieved a second-place finish in another, and earned provincial colors. My professional path has also included a dedicated career in viticulture, wine and senior management roles, which instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, precision, and care. As your skipper, I combine technical competence on the water with a deep respect for nature, ensuring a safe and enriching experience for every guest.
