Boat Licences
« on: September 04, 2015, 09:11:21 AM »
I just recently bought a new river boat. It is a 14"6' cabin boat with a 65 HP motor. I had the survey done and went to buy the licence for the local rivers ( East London). I was horrified when they want to charge me R1400 for a licence for the year  :-( .

This is only for the the local rivers Nahoon, Gonubie, Buffallo etc. If I want to go to Kei or Fish river then I still need a day permit as well.

Even to licence a car to drive on any road is R600 -R 800. I think this is a total rip off  :unhap

What do they charge in other areas?

I had no idea that there was even such a thing... I've been boating for years up in Limpopo and also down in the E.Cape (but not in the last 3 years in the E.Cape) and have never paid a licence.  :shk

Sounds like a massive rip off to me. Who do you pay the license to?
