You eat at the Ski Boat Club on the beachfront at Plettenberg Bay, where the restaurant serves seafood from the club's own catches. The club has been here since the 1980s, and it remains one of the few in South Africa that still launches boats directly from the beach. The kitchen prepares food fresh each day, and the dining room looks out over the bay where the boats return.

The club is the largest fishing club in the Southern Cape, and the restaurant is open to both members and non-members. You can watch the boats come and go while you eat, and the kitchen works with the day's catch. The building sits right on the sand, so the sound of the waves is part of the meal.

The club's beach launch means the boats go straight into the bay from the shore, a practice that has become rare elsewhere. The restaurant has been part of the club since it opened, serving the people who come to fish and those who come to eat what they bring back.
