Welcome

Together we stand, Combined we fish!

Fishing is our life, our existence, our means to feed our families and our nation, in our blood and our story ..

Combined Fishing Enterprises (CFE) was established in 1996 by two brothers from the fourth generation of a family of fishermen, as well as the wife of a life-long fisherman. The company evolved with the South African Commercial fishery (1995). Since its inception, which was shortly before being awarded its first fishing quota, the company has accumulated a wealth of 20 years’ experience in the fishing industry. CFE is managed by the Lucas family, who built upon the company’s strengths both in the general operations of the business and within the South African fishing sectors.
