Chandling services in Mozambique

Chandling services in Mozambique

The Sardine Charters and Chandling offering chandling services in Mozambique and South Africa, take on all sorts of marine challenges for the film industry, survey industry and tourism sector.

Recently we were consigned to conduct sea and surf trials with a custom designed and produced displacement hull cat of 15.5m, and powered by inboards. The task was to set out at Inhaca Island, near Maputo, and head north 370 nautical miles, to Pomene, in Inhambane province. And back.

Here is the video…of that trip…

Before that we were surveying in Mozambique and Uganda – it’s been a busy time. In some crazy places and serious waters.

Our next job is in Vilankulos, where we are supplying services to a big game fishing outfit. We also rig boats for targeting whichever particular fish is on the list. Rods and reels. Tackle. Fish fighting systems and rigs. Safety. Night fishing. First aid and medical equipment.

Skippers needed by The Sardine Team

We were contracted to sea and surf trial this boat from Maputo to Pomene and back. 14 Hours each way by The Sardine crew.

Skippers needed by The Sardine Team

The Sardine Chandling and Charter operation has been experiencing a busy run which looks to continue, and so we would like to build our database of skippers and guides, in time for next year.

We are only looking for highly experienced and capable operators, completely competent and confident in the surf zone. Safety and thoroughness are our strong points as a company, we need people to fly these flags, high!

The jobs are varied and challenging:

  • Boats, people, equipment, materials, fuel transfers. Sometimes hundreds of miles. Sometimes around the corner.
  • Fishing and cruising charters. All over the place.
  • Safety and security projects
  • Events and exhibitions

Boats run from tenders to tugs. Most of the work is done on boats less than 10 metres, so your Category C and better will work in most instances.
