If sport fishing is your game, and even if it’s not, this is something you have to try once. Just once, because after that we know you will be “hooked”. Cape Town has some of the richest Tuna fishing grounds in the World. It is not unusual to catch Yellow fin Tuna of 80 kgs+ and Long fin of 20 kgs+. So spoil yourself. Get some mates together and make a day of it. Even if you are alone, you can join in another fishing group as they head out for the day.

Whilst on our Cape waters you will probably see the numerous species of Albatross, Killer Whales (Orca) and Dusky Dolphins that are frequently near the boats. The Tuna season runs from Sep to June, with the best times being at the beginning and end of the season. Tuna fishing takes a full day, 30 miles out to sea, so if you do suffer from seasickness then please inform us so we can provide you with the necessary precautions before coming aboard. 

Other species that are targeted off the peninsula coastline are: Elf (Shad/Bluefish) and Mako Sharks. Daiwa stand up rods with both Penn International and Shimano reels are supplied for conventional fishing. The Tuna however deserves a lot more respect and nothing less than a fourteen weight combined with a really good reel that holds at least 600m of backing will do. Seasons vary from one year to the next, but as a rule all the above species are caught in summer. Cape Snoek however peak during the cold winter months. Orvis saltwater rigs (with Abel reels) are supplied for fly-fishing.   

Cray fishing (rock lobster) is also very popular especially with the high price of lobster in restaurants. So if you feel like catching lobster and eating them like peanuts, then this is the way to go. Most fishing trips include crayfish for lunch and a trip to seal island. There are two boats that are in operation, namely "Decadence" - a 30' Cobra Cat from the renowned Mallards Marine in Durban . She has plenty of space with a closed off cabin, fly bridge and flushing toilets. She provides a great platform to tackle larger offshore species with fly or conventional tackle! The other boat is "Indulgence" - a 25" Magnum Catamaran. This vessel is very stable and offers both the fly and conventional angler an extremely comfortable platform from which to fish. The boat also offers the comforts of on board toilet facilities and comfortable, couched seating for 5 people.   

Rates for a day’s game fishing start go for between R5750 to R7750 per boat for a day out at sea including meals, drinks, tackle and of course fishing 'til your hearts content.
