Mossel Bay Harbour, situated on the Garden Route coastline, is one of South Africa's oldest working harbours, with a rich history that dates back to 1488 when Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias landed nearby. Today, it is both a commercial and recreational port, supporting a diverse array of activities from fishing and tourism to freight and oil services. The harbour’s setting within Mossel Bay’s sheltered bay offers protection from the elements, making it a dependable port that has played a key role in the region’s development.
A significant feature of the harbour is its multi-purpose functionality. While historically focused on commercial fishing, the harbour has diversified over the years to include oil rig services, cargo handling, and marine repair facilities. It serves as an operational base for offshore oil and gas projects in the area, with specialised services supporting these industries. The port’s facilities are continually modernised, helping it maintain its reputation as a reliable service provider along the coast.
In addition to its commercial significance, Mossel Bay Harbour has become a tourism hub. Numerous operators offer boat cruises, fishing charters, and diving excursions from the harbour, with popular trips including visits to Seal Island, whale watching tours, and sunset cruises. The harbour is also the starting point for the well-known Romonza Boat Trips, which give visitors a chance to observe marine wildlife such as dolphins, seals, and, seasonally, whales. The harbour is also adjacent to the Dias Museum Complex, where visitors can explore the replica of Dias’s ship and learn about the area's maritime heritage.
For visitors, Mossel Bay Harbour offers an appealing mix of history, industry, and leisure. Its location within walking distance of the town centre means tourists have easy access to local restaurants, craft shops, and markets nearby, adding to the harbour’s attraction. With its scenic coastal views, bustling marine activity, and diverse tourism options, Mossel Bay Harbour is a central feature of the town and an iconic destination along the Garden Route.
