Must Catch Fishing Charters really do live up to their name – they love nothing more than taking you out to super-productive waters so that you can reel in your dream catch! Join Captain Ebrahim Ally and a host of other experienced captains and find out just what the bountiful waters of Durban have to offer.

Capt. Ebrahim always loved fishing, especially for Salmon and Snapper! Now, he enjoys being able to pass on his knowledge to his guests. Whether you're a hardcore angler looking to battle fierce game fish, or want to take your family on an adventure around the harbor, Capt. Ebrahim's charter has options that will suit all ages and skill levels.

You'll be cruising the waters of Durban in a 24' Durban Yamaha commercial vessel. She can accommodate up to 9 guests – perfect if you want to bring along your angling buddies, or the entire family. She can comfortably cruise both the harbor, backline, and offshore waters of this area. In fact, Capt. Ebrahim prides himself on the peaceful, relaxing journey that this vessel provides! Onboard, you'll find all of the necessary safety and navigational equipment.

As for the species you'll be targeting? If you want to take the kids on a family adventure, head to the waters around Durban Harbor. You'll have the chance to reel in King Mackerel and whatever else is biting! The journey is smooth, so it's perfect for anglers just discovering their sea legs. Similarly, the backline waters are the perfect fishing grounds for novice anglers who still want to land an impressive catch.

More of a hardcore angler looking for a fight? Capt. Ebrahim and his crew will take you up to 40 miles offshore, where you'll have the chance to battle Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, and other big game beasts.

Your captain will provide top-quality rods and reels, as well as life jackets for all ages. All you need is a fishing license. Get ready to come aboard Must Catch Fishing Charters and explore these beautiful, bountiful waters!

Great day out in the deep blue
Half Day Trip - Backline (AM) on March 24, 20212 adults

Wow!!! What a phenomenal experience out with Captain Ebrahim and Devron on Must Catch! A private trip out with my boyfriend who has never fished in durban before was definitely an experience and memory made, that will certainly have us out doing this again! Being non-experienced anglers, Capt. and Devron were knowledgeable, friendly and super experienced and made this trip fantastic and easy. Whilst we hauled back a killer load of fish, we even got to wrestle a bull shark that took the bait and what a thrill it was to watch! Thanks team Must Catch - you guys are the best!

'Mini Deep' Trip on March 16, 20217 adults2 children

We had an amazing time...Captain Ebrahim accommodated us with a larger vessel with an unbelievable friendly and helpful Skipper/Captain Clifford. We where aged from 9 yrs to 66 yrs and our Captain accommodated us all perfect...some got a bit sea sick but this was just due to normalcy see sickness...they ensured we caught fish and we will most definitely use them again....most friendly and honest people. Thank you again Captain Ebrahim...R Ioannides and family

Captain Ebrahim Ally has always loved fishing - especially for Salmon and Snapper! His charter business is new, but he has plenty of experience. He used to fish for other charters and then decided that he would love nothing more than to start his own. He combines his years of experience and knowledge with a friendly, welcoming attitude that'll have you feeling right at home on his vessel. His charter has expanded and he has a team of local, experienced captains who love taking guests on awesome adventures around these plentiful waters!
