Langebaan Yacht Club

Yacht clubs were historically very exclusive places, as members had to be yacht owners. Yacht clubs have opened their doors more widely now, so more of us can enjoy them.

Yacht club membership may still be restricted to boat owners, but these now include owners of small boats like dinghies. Yacht clubs often now offer open sailing lessons.

Yacht clubs also have had to diversify to remain viable. Yacht clubs often have lovely restaurant and bar facilities, where you can enjoy a meal in a beautiful nautical environment.

Yacht clubs are pleasant places to relax, or pursue boating activities. If you love the water, see what's on offer at the nearest yacht club.

Boat Fishing Secrets of the Langebaan Lagoon

The Langebaan Lagoon has already been described as one of the best fishing venues in the world. The Lagoon forms a unique ecosystem which is very well preserved and monitored by the relevant authorities.

There are mixed opinions as to exactly which portion of the Saldanha- Langebaan area should be called “THE LAGOON”. General consensus amongst locals is that the lagoon refers to the water-mass to the east of a line joining South Head and North Head (see Map 1). It includes the two islands of Jutten in the south and Malgas in the North.

The lagoon can be divided into two legal regions:

The Saldanha Bay Area which is the area to the north of a line joining Tweede Leentjies Klip and Salamander Point as indicated on the map. Please note that this is a recent amendment to the previous line which was further to the south. The Saldanha Bay Area falls under the authority of Spoornet/Portnet and is monitored by them.

The Parks Board Area to the South of the abovementioned line is administered and policed by the National Parks Board. This area includes most of the favourite fishing spots and the islands of Schaapen (Skaap) and Meeu (the small island inside the “Recce” no-go area).

The Bokkomlaan is both famous and infamous.

Infamous because of its steamy and seamy tales, most of which slumber in the graves of the fishermen that propagated them. Still, should you shoot the breeze with any elderly fisherman at a Velddrif tavern, these tales-from-the-grave flow effortlessly after a couple of  brannas.  

Famous because it is the home of the dried fish industry in South Africa and because the towns of Velddrif and Laaiplek were birthed due to fishermen having settled here on the Bokkomlaan..

Surf the net and you’ll happen upon the desperate postings of an individual or two appealing to the cyberspace community to put them in touch with the purveyors of this unique tidbit so synonymous with the Bokkomlaan.

Stay On The Legal Side

For reasons that are difficult to grasp or understand, different seaworthiness permits are needed for the Saldanha Bay Area and the Parks Board Area. It might have something to do with the collection of monies or some hidden power struggle.

To fish from a boat in the lagoon, at least the following permits are required:

• A valid Skipper’s Ticket
• A SAMSA Boat Seaworthy Certificate that can be obtained from various appointed inspectors such as Seb at 083 459 9455

This allows you to utilize a boat in the Saldanha Bay Area

• A Parks Board Boat Seaworthy Certificate, obtainable from their offices in Langebaan, is also required. Usually they accept the SAMSA certificate as proof of seaworthiness and will issue a Parks Board sticker after collecting their money.

This allows you to utilize a boat in the Parks Board Area.

The following fishing-related permits must be obtained from the Post Office. The standard permit is valid for a period of one year. Please note that a shorter (cheaper) one-month permit is also available.

• A boat fishing permit. One per boat is required.
• Fishing permit. One per angler required.
• Bait collection permit. One per bait collector is required. Bag limits and sizes are available from the Parks Board office and tackle shops.
• Other permits such as cast-net, crayfishing, spear-fishing, etc. is also available on the same form.

A row of buoys marks the restricted area along the shore of the SANDF Recce Area. No boats or fishing are allowed inside a line joining these buoys (see map 2).

A row of buoys stretching from Kraalbaai across the lagoon towards Oosterwal marks the southern limit of the permitted fishing and power boat activities in the Parks Board Area. This is commonly referred to as “The Line” or “Die Lyn” (see map 3).

The Parks Board authorities have assured us that they now have a permanent “Water-Wing” This team will specialize in policing the Parks Board Area and you can be assured that you will be checked for permits, certificates, fish size and bag limits as well as bait quantities.

It was also mentioned that no more warnings will be given and fines will be issued with the first trespass. The “Water-Wing” will operate on a 24-hour basis.

Boat Launching Spots

There are, in essence, three boat launching slipways in the Langebaan area.

Langebaan Yacht Club (LYC).  LYC has excellent launching facilities and walk-on jetties. It is usually available to non-members at R80 per launch. During peak periods it might be open to members only. This will clearly be indicated on the notice board at the turn-off to the LYC. Skippers are to ensure that their boats are 100% ready for an immediate launch before entering the slipway: engines checked, all pre-launch checks completed and ready just to push off. We cannot guarantee your personal safety if you start wasting time by blocking the slipway while battling to start or to get the boat off the trailer.

The “Paaltjies”.  This is the common name for the launch area on the main beach at Langebaan. It is clearly marked by two rows of poles. Launching at this stage is still free. The disadvantage is that you are launching from the beach, with the associated problems of getting stuck, getting the trailer out of the water after launch, and getting the boat back onto the trailer. It is very popular, however, specifically for smaller or lighter boats such as inflatables.

Club Mykonos Marina.  Boat launching at Mykonos is very easy as the facilities are good and the slipway is excellent and well maintained. Launch fees are R150 per launch. Mykonos is particularly suitable for launching to fish the spots to the north of the Parks Board Area. The Fuel saved by the shorter distance from the Marina to the area such as Roman Banks or “The Ore Jetty” will probably offset the higher launching fees.

Bait Collecting

The favourite bait types are prawns for White Stumpnose and White Steenbras. Pilchards or sardines for Shad (Elf), Cob and Geelbek (Cape Cod) and red bait for all bottom fish like White Stumpnose, Steentjie and Kolstert (Blacktail). White mussel is available from the tackle shops and a few can be found on the sand banks. It is not a favourite bait with most of the fish species in the lagoon, but often the only available bait for bottom fishing (White Stump and Steentjie) when you have missed the low tide to pump prawns.

Prawns can be pumped from most of the sand banks in the upper lagoon area (south of the LYC) They are mostly accessible within two hours of low tide, and you must be prepared to stand waist deep in the cold water. A floating net to pump the sand into is highly effective. You do not have to look for the prawn holes in the sand. Pump at random, and exploit the productive areas. There are two types of prawn in the lagoon: The “sand” or “pink” prawn (with pinchers), and the “mud prawn” (without pinchers). There are mixed opinions as to which one is the better one for bait. Experience have shown that the fish have no particular preference. I know many anglers will disagree. Please note that these two types of prawn count as different bait species and you pay pump 50 if each per bait permit.

Red bait may be collected from most rocks at low tide or hooked from the sand below “Konstabelkop”.

Pilchards or sardines can be bought from all bait shops and the Langebaan Total Garage.

Favourite Fishing Spots

The following fishing spots are the most popular and productive ones in the lagoon.

·          The Ore Jetty

·          Roman Banks

·          Lynch Blinder

·          “Skaap” Island Area (GPS name for Schaapen)

·          Konstabelkop

·          The Middle Channel

·          The Line

Angling Etiquette & Rules

There are some unwritten angling rules that are based on etiquette and good manners.

1.        Do not pass close to anchored boats at high speed. Most fishing boats on the lagoon are small and your wake may result in a dangerous situation with a kid or equipment falling overboard.

2.        Do not pass over fishing lines that are in the water. Give the “fishing side” of another boat at least a 50 metre miss.

3.        Do not anchor so close to another boat that you can interfere with their fishing or conversation.

4.        When launching at the Langebaan Yacht Club PLEASE obey the Club rules very strictly.

5.        Do not enter the slipway with an unprepared boat. Make 100% sure that your boat is ready for an immediate launch.

6.        Do not attempt a solo launch and then come back to remove your vehicle and trailer. Have somebody with you to take your vehicle off the slip immediately when your boat is off the trailer.

7.        Do not leave your boat against the jetty for more than 10 minutes.

8.        Do not leave your boat unattended against the jetty.

9.        Obey the “no-wake” restriction around the slipway and jetty area.

10.    In dense fog, bad visibility or at night, proceed with slow speed and utmost care. There are anchored boats all around kayak rowers enjoy the flat waters associated with dense fog.

11.    Do not dispose of empty cans, bottles, plastic bags or bait containers in the water.

Safety first

The lagoon is full of shallow sandbanks , kelp beds and other obstacles which may, and often do, bring a boat to a sudden stop. PLEASE DO NOT put passengers in front on the nose of a boat. We have regular incidents of people (specifically kids) falling off the front of a ski boat with a resulting propeller-rash that can spoil your holiday. Enjoy our lovely lagoon, good fishing and help us keep it sustainable for our kids and their future generations.

Student Feedback

Rya yachtmaster coastal skipper commercially endorsed.

A big thank you to these amazing people!! Atlantic Yachting Sail and Power it’s been an unforgettable journey. As well as to all the instructors. Wouldn’t of wanted it any different. It’s not just a sailing school, I would say it’s more like a family that you get very attached too. Gonna miss this place..

RYA Yachtmaster Offshore with commercial endorsement

Thanks so much for steering Hugo Davis-mason through the Offshore Yacht Master course over the last 6 months. He has grown from a boy to a man under your tutelage. Sailing from Capetown to Tortola over 40 days was the experience of a lifetime and has cemented his love of sailing. Without your company’s care and knowledge he would still be wondering which course to navigate in his life. I will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a challenge for their son or daughter to grow through adventure and discipline.

Competent Crew

Best Sailing school in the southern hemisphere! Thanks for making me feel at home and teaching me new skills. Will definitely come back in the future.

Over exceeded my expectations of the course. Was worth every cent & cannot wait to book my/our next day skipper. Our instructor – a rare breed of seamanship with a natural talent for the sea, teaching and good humour – Steele.

I would take my family to sea with you any day. Thank you Atlantic Yachting

RYA Yachtmaster Offshore with commercial endorsement – Career Course

RYA Day Skipper- RYA Coastal Skipper – Career Course

Second time around 😉 Thank you to Hayley, Janine and Nicole for your patience and answering all the numerous questions and leading a guiding hand 😊To the Instructors for putting up with us students, haha. I would highly recommend Atlantic Yachting to anyone looking for a professional, organised, and well-structured Sailing School. I wish the team the best for any and all future endeavours.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a sailing course with Atlantic Yachting, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations. The school and its instructors were exceptional, providing me with an unforgettable experience. I have since recommended Atlantic Yachting to my friends, and I would certainly recommend them to anyone who is looking to take a sailing course. Overall, I had an amazing time and learned a lot, and I have Atlantic Yachting to thank for that.

Wonderful team, from management to the instructors. Welcoming and professional! The accommodation is more than anyone can ask, few minutes walking from the school! Nice fleet and wonderful place where to sail. Wind is always blowing, and sea condition goes s from flat (in the lagoon for starting) to surfing 2/3mt swell in complete safety. As a foreigner i never felt so at home!

RYA Yachtmaster with commercial endorsement – Career Course

The best Sailing school in the world trust me!

Truly an amazing place to go and learn all about sailing and explore the beautiful Atlantic Ocean!🙌🏻

Awesome school. Learned so much. Everyone and everything was amazing. Everyone in the office was always helpful and friendly, going out of their way to help in any way they could. The yachts and equipment are top notch, clean and safe, the crew house is lovely, and the instructors are awesome, again helpful, and very knowledgeable. Just a great place for yacht related qualifications.

Thanks again guys, been an awesome 8 weeks.

Competent Crew & Day Skipper – Recreational Sailing

I followed the “competent crew” and “day skipper” training over 3 weeks. Excellent school, of good level, the instructor was very competent, patient despite my average level in English… We repeat the gestures and instructions until perfect assimilation and execution. Higher level of education than anything I have experienced before in France, at a much cheaper rate. I definitely improved my level in sailing, in a friendly and festive atmosphere. The sailboats are very good, and the accommodation at the crew house is perfect. I hope to come back to continue with the “coastal skipper” training. I recommend this school, especially if you are a beginner.

First class education and instructors have a vast knowledge on all topics. An excellent sailing school through and through.

I would just like to convey my utmost thanks to the Atlantic Yachting family. These past few weeks have been an eye-opening experience and have solidified my decision to pursue a career in the super yachting industry.

I would like to thank all the staff involved: Adrian, Hayley, Mike, Janine, Susan, Jan, Leslie and Blesswell; I am eternally grateful for all your hard work and kindness. I would further like to thank Chrisjan for being an exceptional lecturer and instructor – he is a rare breed, and I would gladly sail with him any day.

I will definitely recommend Atlantic Yachting to everyone I meet. I can safely say that I will be returning in the future.

If you’re ever looking to realise a salty dream, you can’t ask for a better, more professional, fun and knowledgeable team than Atlantic Yachting Sail and Power! Can’t wait to sail with them again. I’ve done both competent crew and day skipper with them and already planning the next adventure (Coastal Skippers). The expertise that they provide has set me in good stead to hoist the sails and hit the ocean confidently and with ease. Thank you, Atlantic Yachting.

Passionate about sailing

Atlantic Yachting Sail and Power training was born out of a love for the ocean and a passion for sailing that our two like-minded partners share. They chose the pristine, shimmering waters of the Langebaan lagoon on the West Coast to base their school with the foresight that it is one of the few lagoons in South Africa that has tidal streams, essential when it comes to sail training.

Yacht clubs were historically very exclusive places, as members had to be yacht owners. Yacht clubs have opened their doors more widely now, so more of us can enjoy them.

Yacht club membership may still be restricted to boat owners, but these now include owners of small boats like dinghies. Yacht clubs often now offer open sailing lessons.

Yacht clubs also have had to diversify to remain viable. Yacht clubs often have lovely restaurant and bar facilities, where you can enjoy a meal in a beautiful nautical environment.

Yacht clubs are pleasant places to relax, or pursue boating activities. If you love the water, see what's on offer at the nearest yacht club.

Boat Fishing Secrets of the Langebaan Lagoon

The Langebaan Lagoon has already been described as one of the best fishing venues in the world. The Lagoon forms a unique ecosystem which is very well preserved and monitored by the relevant authorities.

There are mixed opinions as to exactly which portion of the Saldanha- Langebaan area should be called “THE LAGOON”. General consensus amongst locals is that the lagoon refers to the water-mass to the east of a line joining South Head and North Head (see Map 1). It includes the two islands of Jutten in the south and Malgas in the North.

The lagoon can be divided into two legal regions:

The Saldanha Bay Area which is the area to the north of a line joining Tweede Leentjies Klip and Salamander Point as indicated on the map. Please note that this is a recent amendment to the previous line which was further to the south. The Saldanha Bay Area falls under the authority of Spoornet/Portnet and is monitored by them.

The Parks Board Area to the South of the abovementioned line is administered and policed by the National Parks Board. This area includes most of the favourite fishing spots and the islands of Schaapen (Skaap) and Meeu (the small island inside the “Recce” no-go area).

The Bokkomlaan is both famous and infamous.

Infamous because of its steamy and seamy tales, most of which slumber in the graves of the fishermen that propagated them. Still, should you shoot the breeze with any elderly fisherman at a Velddrif tavern, these tales-from-the-grave flow effortlessly after a couple of  brannas.  

Famous because it is the home of the dried fish industry in South Africa and because the towns of Velddrif and Laaiplek were birthed due to fishermen having settled here on the Bokkomlaan..

Surf the net and you’ll happen upon the desperate postings of an individual or two appealing to the cyberspace community to put them in touch with the purveyors of this unique tidbit so synonymous with the Bokkomlaan.

Stay On The Legal Side

For reasons that are difficult to grasp or understand, different seaworthiness permits are needed for the Saldanha Bay Area and the Parks Board Area. It might have something to do with the collection of monies or some hidden power struggle.

To fish from a boat in the lagoon, at least the following permits are required:

• A valid Skipper’s Ticket
• A SAMSA Boat Seaworthy Certificate that can be obtained from various appointed inspectors such as Seb at 083 459 9455

This allows you to utilize a boat in the Saldanha Bay Area

• A Parks Board Boat Seaworthy Certificate, obtainable from their offices in Langebaan, is also required. Usually they accept the SAMSA certificate as proof of seaworthiness and will issue a Parks Board sticker after collecting their money.

This allows you to utilize a boat in the Parks Board Area.

The following fishing-related permits must be obtained from the Post Office. The standard permit is valid for a period of one year. Please note that a shorter (cheaper) one-month permit is also available.

• A boat fishing permit. One per boat is required.
• Fishing permit. One per angler required.
• Bait collection permit. One per bait collector is required. Bag limits and sizes are available from the Parks Board office and tackle shops.
• Other permits such as cast-net, crayfishing, spear-fishing, etc. is also available on the same form.

A row of buoys marks the restricted area along the shore of the SANDF Recce Area. No boats or fishing are allowed inside a line joining these buoys (see map 2).

A row of buoys stretching from Kraalbaai across the lagoon towards Oosterwal marks the southern limit of the permitted fishing and power boat activities in the Parks Board Area. This is commonly referred to as “The Line” or “Die Lyn” (see map 3).

The Parks Board authorities have assured us that they now have a permanent “Water-Wing” This team will specialize in policing the Parks Board Area and you can be assured that you will be checked for permits, certificates, fish size and bag limits as well as bait quantities.

It was also mentioned that no more warnings will be given and fines will be issued with the first trespass. The “Water-Wing” will operate on a 24-hour basis.

Boat Launching Spots

There are, in essence, three boat launching slipways in the Langebaan area.

Langebaan Yacht Club (LYC).  LYC has excellent launching facilities and walk-on jetties. It is usually available to non-members at R80 per launch. During peak periods it might be open to members only. This will clearly be indicated on the notice board at the turn-off to the LYC. Skippers are to ensure that their boats are 100% ready for an immediate launch before entering the slipway: engines checked, all pre-launch checks completed and ready just to push off. We cannot guarantee your personal safety if you start wasting time by blocking the slipway while battling to start or to get the boat off the trailer.

The “Paaltjies”.  This is the common name for the launch area on the main beach at Langebaan. It is clearly marked by two rows of poles. Launching at this stage is still free. The disadvantage is that you are launching from the beach, with the associated problems of getting stuck, getting the trailer out of the water after launch, and getting the boat back onto the trailer. It is very popular, however, specifically for smaller or lighter boats such as inflatables.

Club Mykonos Marina.  Boat launching at Mykonos is very easy as the facilities are good and the slipway is excellent and well maintained. Launch fees are R150 per launch. Mykonos is particularly suitable for launching to fish the spots to the north of the Parks Board Area. The Fuel saved by the shorter distance from the Marina to the area such as Roman Banks or “The Ore Jetty” will probably offset the higher launching fees.

Bait Collecting

The favourite bait types are prawns for White Stumpnose and White Steenbras. Pilchards or sardines for Shad (Elf), Cob and Geelbek (Cape Cod) and red bait for all bottom fish like White Stumpnose, Steentjie and Kolstert (Blacktail). White mussel is available from the tackle shops and a few can be found on the sand banks. It is not a favourite bait with most of the fish species in the lagoon, but often the only available bait for bottom fishing (White Stump and Steentjie) when you have missed the low tide to pump prawns.

Prawns can be pumped from most of the sand banks in the upper lagoon area (south of the LYC) They are mostly accessible within two hours of low tide, and you must be prepared to stand waist deep in the cold water. A floating net to pump the sand into is highly effective. You do not have to look for the prawn holes in the sand. Pump at random, and exploit the productive areas. There are two types of prawn in the lagoon: The “sand” or “pink” prawn (with pinchers), and the “mud prawn” (without pinchers). There are mixed opinions as to which one is the better one for bait. Experience have shown that the fish have no particular preference. I know many anglers will disagree. Please note that these two types of prawn count as different bait species and you pay pump 50 if each per bait permit.

Red bait may be collected from most rocks at low tide or hooked from the sand below “Konstabelkop”.

Pilchards or sardines can be bought from all bait shops and the Langebaan Total Garage.

Favourite Fishing Spots

The following fishing spots are the most popular and productive ones in the lagoon.

·          The Ore Jetty

·          Roman Banks

·          Lynch Blinder

·          “Skaap” Island Area (GPS name for Schaapen)

·          Konstabelkop

·          The Middle Channel

·          The Line

Angling Etiquette & Rules

There are some unwritten angling rules that are based on etiquette and good manners.

1.        Do not pass close to anchored boats at high speed. Most fishing boats on the lagoon are small and your wake may result in a dangerous situation with a kid or equipment falling overboard.

2.        Do not pass over fishing lines that are in the water. Give the “fishing side” of another boat at least a 50 metre miss.

3.        Do not anchor so close to another boat that you can interfere with their fishing or conversation.

4.        When launching at the Langebaan Yacht Club PLEASE obey the Club rules very strictly.

5.        Do not enter the slipway with an unprepared boat. Make 100% sure that your boat is ready for an immediate launch.

6.        Do not attempt a solo launch and then come back to remove your vehicle and trailer. Have somebody with you to take your vehicle off the slip immediately when your boat is off the trailer.

7.        Do not leave your boat against the jetty for more than 10 minutes.

8.        Do not leave your boat unattended against the jetty.

9.        Obey the “no-wake” restriction around the slipway and jetty area.

10.    In dense fog, bad visibility or at night, proceed with slow speed and utmost care. There are anchored boats all around kayak rowers enjoy the flat waters associated with dense fog.

11.    Do not dispose of empty cans, bottles, plastic bags or bait containers in the water.

Safety first

The lagoon is full of shallow sandbanks , kelp beds and other obstacles which may, and often do, bring a boat to a sudden stop. PLEASE DO NOT put passengers in front on the nose of a boat. We have regular incidents of people (specifically kids) falling off the front of a ski boat with a resulting propeller-rash that can spoil your holiday. Enjoy our lovely lagoon, good fishing and help us keep it sustainable for our kids and their future generations.

What is there to do in Langebaan?

The white sand beaches surrounding the clear waters of the Langebaan Lagoon are one of the main attractions of Langebaan. The mild climate and protected waters of the lagoon make Langebaan popular for sailing, kayaking, kitesurfing and fishing, and the town offers numerous holiday facilities for water sport enthusiasts.

Did you know?

The lagoon is an intense turquoise; only 6 metres deep at its deepest and completely open to the sea. No river runs into it – making it one of only three lagoons world-wide not fed by fresh water. The lagoon supports huge populations of crabs and snails, as well as over 70 different marine algae, and serves as a nursery for juvenile fish. The intertidal areas support as many as 55 000 water birds in summer. The waters are a lot warmer than the icy Atlantic.
