Mossel Bay Business Chamber

The members are (from left): Kobus Smit (Gouriqua Properties), Floyd Murray (Murray & Jacobs Consulting) en Pierre Venter (right), chairman (Photo: Denise Lloyd)

Business Chamber will promote  the town Mossel Bay

The business community of the town once again has a “joint voice” after the Afrikaans Business Chamber terminated a few years ago. The newly founded Mossel Bay Business Chamber will promote the interests of the town making it more competitive. We need to make Mossel Bay more attractive to investors and to create an environment for entrepreneurs to create career opportunities.We need to bring economical changes by means of education and training.

Mr. Piere Venter said the CBD must be upgraded and the residential areas must also be upgraded and cleaned

The CBD must be upgraded and made more interesting with new and exciting projects, seeing the current situation is not acceptable. Residential areas must be cleaned and upgraded. The unplanned and ugly developments give the town a bad reputation according to the chairman of the Business Chamber, Mr. Pierre Venter said to the Burger.

The town showed a phenomenal growth over the past few years and secured its position as a holiday and a retirement destination. Drastic measures are needed to upgrade and develop the business sector. It is therefore crucial to find new ways to stimulate the local economy. Especially if one bears in mind that PetroSA according to speculations will not play such a vital role in future as at present.

Mossel Bay needs to be competitive, not only localy, but global as well.

Greater emphasis will have to be placed on small businesses and industries to stimulate economic growth. A pre requisite for such a developments project is that the town and the local community must be competitive. To be competitive requires physical, intellectual and cultural assists of people with talents, skills and creativity. Mr. Pierre Venter believes that the town needs not only to be locally competitive. We need to be globally competitive with all the tourism coming from abroad. Services need to be excellent, facilities of world class standards and Mossel Bay needs to make visitors excited.

Soccer World Cup  2010 an opportunity not to be missed. Mossel bay must grab the oppertunity

According to Mr. Venter we have all it takes, we just need to develop and utilize it. How does one stay unique and stay on the fore front of opportunities? How does one utilize all the opportunities? Pierre believes that the Soccer World Cup 2010 will be such an opportunity and that Mossel Bay can not afford not to benefit by it and thus grab the opportunity.

Mossel Bay, Host for the Paraguay soccer team and their supporters

We are very excited that Mossel Bay will be the host for the team and supporters of Paraguay. The Mossel Bay Business Chamber has organized an informative session at their next meeting. Mossel Bay’s representatives Mr. Louis Harris and Ms. Marcia Holm will address the meeting after their visit to America and to inform the members of the benefits of the tournament for Mossel Bay.

Meeting of Mossel Bay Business Chamber on 13 October 2009

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 13 October at 18:00 at Santos Express (Train Restaurant) and the cost will be R30 for members and R50 for non members. Refreshments and a cash bar will be available. The Mossel Bay Business Chamber would like to get all the business of the greater Mosel Bay area to get together to ensure that the town can offer competitive benefits.

Mr Pierre Venter said that it is time to stand to stand together and share ideas and expertise to have our facilities of world class standards.

If you wish to join the Business Chamber contact the chairman, Pierre Venter on 082 492 2623 or via e-mail at mosselbaybusiness@gmail.com

We are the biggest fishing charter company in our area from PE to Cape Town and the only charter business which started from our commercial fishing. Biggest: meaning that we can charter up to 40 customers at any single moment, making use of four vessels at once, but we are just as keen on taking even one customer to sea with the same dedication to catch all the options available on the day.

Deep Sea Adventures in Mossel Bay are specialists in catching big Cob

Bottom fish such as Santer, Red Roman, Miss Lucy, Rockod, Cape salmon and Cob is mainly caught with Big Cob being our main objective, as can be seen on most of our photos.

A selection of realy large sharks have been caught by the boats of deep sea adventures in Mossel  Bay

Game fish species like yellowtail and Bonito also occur in these waters, some years from November to April.  Big Shark such as the beautiful Thresher with it’s tailfin as long as the rest of its body we have had magical fights with the fish breaching three or four times before being brought to the boat.  Other breaching sharks such as the Mako and off course the Mighty Great White also occur in these waters, as it is known world wide.  Other big sharks such as the Ragged Tooth , Hammer Head and Blue shark, which can all grow up to a few hundred kilo’s have also been hooked.

Sharks a caught a a catch and release basis and are handled with care
All sharks and rays are handled with great respect and gently released after being brought to the boat.  Hooks are removed and only quick degradable hooks are used on our expeditions and no stainless steel or galvanized gear.

Deep Sea adventures are Eco friendly
Our boats are designed by South Africans and build for the South African commercial conditions, in that they are large, but light they do not need massive engines to be powered, 90 to 115 horsepower does the job very significantly.  We’ve turned eco friendly in that we switched to four stroke technologies which make an even more enjoyable journey without two stroke fumes, nothing to spoil the fresh ocean breeze in your face.

All our boats are catamarans and renewed for stability on the water, which has seen to the pleasure of thousands of happy clients and a 100% safety record since our existence about 12 years ago.
