Live launch-condition screening & the gamefish outlook for South Africa's premier ski-boat launches — marlin, sailfish, tuna, dorado & couta on the warm Agulhas and the Cape tuna grounds. Every launch call is forecast screening only — never an authorisation; the skipper decides on the beach.  ·  🎣 Shore, rock & surf fishing →

🚨 Ski-boat launches are life-critical. The launch call is forecast screening only — it cannot see breaking sets, sandbars, rips, squalls or your vessel & crew readiness. Inspect from shore, follow launch control & SAMSA/iSimangaliso rules, wear PFDs, log your trip on NSRI SafeTrx and brief a shore contact — and never launch if in doubt.
