CREATE YOUR OWN STORY
In the heart of Hout Bay, we've unearthed stories that run deeper than the ocean. "I've got a story to tell," they say, as the fishermen of this vibrant community share their journeys and the profound significance of fishing in their lives. We're Southline, and we believe in these stories, in the skills and dreams of fishermen, and in these communities which are the heartbeat of our nation.
​
Beyond the everyday trade and local and international orders, we've pioneered a new financing model designed especially for those with the right commercial fishing permits from the Department of Environment, Forestry, and Fisheries (DEFF). We craft fishing vessels that cater to all species, from agile skip boats to robust long liners of the perfect size.
We're here to help you write the next chapter in your story.
​
Come, craft your legacy – in sustainable fishing, empowerment, and a brighter, thriving future.
