Thursday, 22nd May 2025

The Raggy Charters Team enjoyed a great evening with Sponsors, Exhibitors, Stall Holders and Friends at the Boardwalk Mall Pre-Festival Press Launch on 22nd May 2025. Chatting to all about the upcoming Algoa Bay Whale Festival to be held on 31st May and 1st June 2025. The festival will be held at The Willows Resort, this year a 2 day event. Saturday 31st May wll be a day of Educational Talks and Sunday 1st June the Celebratory Community Event.

Guests enjoyed the photographic display by Lloyd Edwards (Owner) and Jake Keeton (Manager). All their images taken in Algoa Bay on Raggy Charters Marine-Eco Tours. Showcasing the magnificence of the marine life in the bay. Visitors to the Boardwalk Mall over the weekend enjoyed the display. Strolling around and taking in what seems so surreal.. could this marine life possibly be in Algoa Bay.. YES! And we all need to work at conserving this marine life for future generations. We hope the display and festival creates awareness and the need to keep the bay 'Alive'!

Sponsor BYD Kelston had their new plug-in hybrid bakkie the SHARK on display for guests to enjoy too!

We thank the Boardwalk Mall for the Atrium space, The Function Warehouse team for the exhibit set up equipment, Pick n Pay Boardwalk Mall and LANCEWOOD for the amazing food and wine, and more wine from Kanu Wines, Elizabeth Kayne for keeping us entertained with great tunes.. AND we thank the media, and all who joined us on this special occasion.
