Theo Roelofsz

Operator since 2003
Fishing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in South Africa, I developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors and the excitement of pursuing wild fish in their natural environment. As a professional hunter and outfitter, I have dedicated my life to guiding people on unforgettable adventures, and offshore fishing is a natural extension of that passion. What I enjoy most is seeing the excitement on a guest’s face when a reel starts screaming or a marlin explodes from the water. Every trip is different, every day on the ocean is a new challenge, and sharing those moments with anglers from around the world is what drives me. My goal is not only to help my guests catch incredible fish, but to give them a genuine African experience they will remember for the rest of their lives.
