Join us for the West Coast’s newest and most exhilarating adventure — exploring Dassen Island by boat!

At Cape Coast Expeditions, we’ve custom-built a brand-new 9m Infanta vessel, MV Zandie, designed specifically for comfort, performance, and safety on our coastline. With twin 300HP engines and seating for up to 12 passengers, she’s the largest and most efficiently powered RIB on the West Coast — purpose-built for smooth, safe and stable crossings.

At the helm is Captain Alan, bringing over 11 years of international experience operating multimillion-dollar yachts and eco-charters around the world — from the beaches of the Bahamas to the busy channels of Hong Kong. Safety is his number one priority.

Join us for an unforgettable sea safari as we explore the wild beauty of Dassen Island, home to the largest remaining African Penguin colony in the world, one of only 2 breeding grounds of the Great White Pelican, playful Cape Fur Seals, and an astonishing diversity of other marine life. Discover why this island sanctuary is one of the most thriving ecosystems on the planet.

Adventure and exploration are in our DNA. We’re ready — are you?”
