Do not book this charter company
I live in the Netherlands and went for vacation to Cape Town South Africa for 5 weeks. While there my husband and I wanted to go tuna fishing. On 10th of december 2022 I phoned Vic from Dassen Eiland Charters to talk about the possibilty. He said they have two boats, are catching lots of fish and big fish. The 4 week time frame i gave him to go out whas more than enough time to arrange a deap see fishing trip. We made the payment of R9000,00 and booked for 22th of december. After about a week we received a voucher for deepsee fishing and a comformation that we would be going out with the second boat and that the details of the time and place would be send to us a couple of days before the launch. On the 21st of december i phoned Vic, but his phone whas turned of so I send him a message through whats app, there whas a automatic response that he is not avaible and a number i should phone. the person whas another charter company. They did not know about my booking. After sending all the info to this ather charter they let me know that at that moment they didn't do any deep see charters and would not do them while we where in South Africa. He offerd me 2 trips for ins**** fishing instead of the one deep see trip. But the trips would be booked later because of avalibilty at that moment. It took us a week to plan our thist trip. On the website the ins**** fishing is promoted as Snoek and yellowtail fishing - but it turned out to be bottem fishing. After this all i went to facebook to look up Vic and dassen eiland charters aswell as the new charter company. It turned out Vic whas on holiday in AUstria and that the second company did go out on the 22th of december but just not with us... By the 9th of janury Vic whas back in SA and we did not go out for our second trip. On the 10th i called Vic to hear how all this could stil be fixed. We where leaving on the 12th of january. I told me that it wasnt going to happen and offered a refund for the remaining money. Two weeks later and stil no refund. My mother who lives in cape town messaged Vic to ask when it could be expected and he told her there would be no refund. In short, Vic wil tell you what you want to hear so you wil make the booking. And then not deliver. We specifically asked about if he could deliver in the time frame we have. He repeatedly said he could, knowing he would be on holiday. He sold our "voucher" to a different charter company without out knowledge and not even telling them about our time frame. Then he lies again about making it up to us. Do not book this charter company.

Justice for fake report
Dassen Island Fishing Charters: A hearty thanks to all the friends who have supported me during this torrid time. The fool that posted that false report has withdrawn his statement and gone into hiding as I institute legal action against him. I firmly believe I freedom of speech, but blatant lies and slander is unacceptable and now the law has to take its course. FOR THOSE who copy and pasted that horrendous remark on what's app groups, its highly illegal and you will be traced and prosecuted. This Mohamad Adam guy watered down his gripe 3 times to an acceptable complaint, but sadly for him the first post went viral, tarnishing my clean untarnished Charter Company. As this matter is now subdurica, please let the law take its course. Cheers, Vic Warrington

Dassen Eiland Charters is a very bad company
The boat was too small to accommodate all of us. The fishfinder was faulty. He did not have live bait on board. He drunk during our charter. We were out for 12 hours and had rods in the water for less than 1 hour. It was a tour of the sea, not a fishing trip. Obviously we didn't have any bites, which would be fine if Vic allowed us to have rods in the water for a meaningful amount of time, tried bait changes and actually attempted to catch a fish. He was more interested in following Tankers, asking other boats how much they caught and telling tales of how much fish he caught on previous trips. It was an utter disaster and I ask you to find another charter company to take you fishing in the Langebaan/Cape Town area. His initial asking fee was R3500pp. We ended up paying him R18k. We went on a trip with "Dassen Eiland Charters" (http://dassencharters.co.za/) on 26 December 2020. We launched from Yzerfontein harbour.

Dassen Eiland Charters" (http://dassencharters.co.za/) MUST BE STOPPED
I made a booking with "Dassen Eiland Charters" (http://dassencharters.co.za/) @ 5am at Yzerfontein Harbour for 6 people. Vic Warrington (the owner) made promises he could not keep. He claimed to have had years of experience but has only been catching tuna for a short time. He was drunk on board. He made little effort. There was no sign of us catching anything. Incredibly unprofessional. He is a liar! Do not book with him. You will thank me.
