We arrived July 26, 2022 to await a weather window around Agulhas. The small marina is there but we can’t find anyone to talk to about temp moorage. The email for the Mossel Bay Moorings replied with this,
“ The Mossel Bay Yacht and Boat Club was evicted by Transnet National Port Authorities in January 2019, and thus doesn’t manage the moorings, the previous club grounds and the slipway anymore, very sorry!
Please contact Harbor Master Capt. Vania Cloete for further assistance:

We are going to speak to him but for now we are rafted up to a fishing boat on the cement quay.
The yacht club is managed as a pub and restaurant. They are very friendly and anchoring off the yacht club – behind the harbour wall, although not too close due to the Nor’Easter which can spring up in the mornings giving a short chop bouncing off the wall – will give good shelter from the SW wind which can be very strong. DO NOT pick up any of the mooring buoys – they aren’t inspected regularly.
There are about 40 walk-on marina’s in the harbour. If you do enter the be sure to call Mossel Bay Port Control on Ch 12. Its a fairly busy harbour with support vessels for the gas platforms about 60km away.
The club is run by Albie +27 72 075 4334. A very friendly and helpful guy.
Mossel Bay is a clean and neat town with lots of history. The first Portuguese explorers arrived here about 1480 and they’re very proud of this heritage, with monuments and museums.
The town is a 5 minute walk from the harbour, and you can get pretty much anything you want. At the point around the corner is the longest over-water zipline in the world. Even for South Africa, the prices are very cheap.
We loved Mossel Bay – the people, the place and overall friendliness.
