Our chartered swim-tour takes swimmers out to Roman Rock Reef where we start the 5 km (safety accompanied) swim back to Kings Beach, as the crow flies.

This swim is for competent open water swimmers who are comfortable with swimming 5-6 km in the ocean. It’s not a timed event, you swim your pace, the goal is for an awesome (deep) open water experience. Sea temperatures vary between 14-18 oC in winter and 17-22 oC in summer. You are likely to swim in swells which vary according to the season. Indian Ocean swimming rocks like no other.

The charter needs three things: your ideal “window period”, a group of ten swimmers, and weather conditions good enough to swim. We provide the support boat, kayak safety crew, beach support upon exiting the water, warm coffee and a snack box as well as many add on extras. You have options people. 

The Roman Rock to Kings ocean safari begins when you step onboard and head out PE harbour for a sunrise cruise on the luxury catamaran (our support boat). This stable platform offers a unique view of the city as you depart on your ocean safari to the swim start, all with coffee and rusks in hand. Then we head south, towards the Cape Recife lighthouse and a circular route to Roman Rock Reef. A pinnacle reef that is 2,5 km offshore, marked by a shipping buoy that alerts marine traffic to the shallow passage. The reef is named for the large number of red roman fish that are found here and made up of underwater gullies and pinnacles which teem with fish, basket stars, starfish, sea fans, anemones, soft corals and pyjama sharks. Many creatures from the smallest colourful nudibranch to the Ragged-tooth shark also share a spot on this popular reef. We then add ten super-chuffed swimmers to that eclectic mix.

Join us on the iconic open water adventure, showcasing the best views of the Bay. You see all the way from the lighthouse to the harbour giraffe (loading cranes). It’s a panoramic masterpiece every time you breathe to your left. The swim of legends. Oh yes, are you brave enough to attempt swimming Shark Alley? 

It’s an unforgettable, awe-inspiring, 5 km swim from Roman Rock Reef to Kings Beach…

But hey, don’t believe us, come swim it for yourself!
