occupation

SOS - Charter Boat (original title: Riptide ) is an Australian television series with 26 episodes, which was first broadcast in 1969.

action

Moss Andrews is only called "American" by everyone, although it has been a few years since he came to Australia as an American. He was actually a successful businessman in his home country, but when his wife was killed in a car accident, he crossed the ocean alone with his yacht “Safari” and then simply stayed in Australia.

The destination Australia was no coincidence, because his father-in-law Barney is the owner of the company “Charter Boat” in the north of Sydney and is on the verge of bankruptcy. With the help of Moss Andrews, the student Neal Winton and the "Safari", however, business can continue. These consist essentially of fishing trips for Sydney businessmen, but the water also features shady people, and Moss Andrews is the kind of person who doesn't turn a blind eye to what should only be the police's business.

consequences

All 26 episodes produced by Ralph Smart and photographed by cinematographer Carl Kayser were shot in 1968 and broadcast in 1969 by the Australian broadcaster Seven Network .
