HOW THE SEA TRADER ALL STARTED
A Bit of History
Sea Trader goes beyond these four walls.
Corrie van Zyl and his family settled in Stompneusbaai in 1968. Before they got involved in the fishing industry, the family were dairy farmers. They built a crayfish factory and a perlemoen farm which they later sold. The Van Zyl's decided to develop their land into a private nature reserve.
The name Cape St. Martin springs from the lighthouse situated on the peninsula where the development is situated.
Next to the original homestead they built a wedding venue, the Sea Trader, named after a cargo ship that ran aground at the most western point of Britannia Bay on 3 June 1971.
