Fascinating and Fun - Had a fantastic trip with Purity, Sean and Keith. They made it very enjoyable and interesting not only for me but also my grandchildren (8 and 10), daughter and son-in-law. Not only have I never seen that many dolphins at one time but I don't think I've seen that many in my life. Fascinating to not only see and learn about the dolphins, penguins, seal and birds but also to hear about the work they are doing. Great job. Keep it up.

Exceptional Experience - I booked Raggy Chaters during my time in SA. This tour was phenomenal. Jake and his crew were incredible people who were very attentive, friendly, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I learned a lot and saw many different sea animals. I worked closely with Karen who was also amazing to help book this excursion. Everyone Raggy Chaters made this trip a memorable one. Thank you!

Epic trip - Somebody who has grown up in Port Elizabeth and has spent a lot of time in the water water swimming and scuba diving I’ve been able to see some of our amazing sea life over the years, but the trip with Raggy charters opened my eyes to a lot more, Keith and Jake are very knowledgeable and I’ve learned a lot about the amazing bird life and the beautiful pods of dolphins that graced us, this is an absolute must for anybody who visits eastern Cape or lives here and experience this epic trip

Went on the Sardine Run trip with Raggy Charters April 2025 - Saw thousands of dolphins and plenty of seabirds. The skipper was well experienced and was a fountain of knowledge on the marine life. The lunch was excellent. Had a great trip. Was most enjoyable.

Sardine run trip - This was an awesome opportunity to see thousands of common dolphins chasing sardines to form a baitball. The crew was very informative. Lunch was as usual very good.

Dolphins by the 100s! - We had an absolute blast on this trip. Both our skipper and guide, Purity were amazing and shared very informative facts about the animals and islands. This is a must and even though we did not experience any whale sightings this was still an unforgettable experience. Thank you!
