Sting Ray
Your time in Durban wouldn't be complete without the chance to explore its prolific fishing grounds. If you're looking for a charter company to take you out, look no further than Aqua Nautical Adventures! They're dedicated to putting their customers on fish year round, and they have a trip for every fishing appetite.
Spend your day on a clean 30' Lee-Cat walkaround with twin 250 HP Suzuki engines. The boat has a spacious deck and plenty of room to sit up to 10 people. Whether you're fishing the nearby reefs or hitting the bluewater 50 miles from Durban, this vessel will get you there safely.
There's a private toilet on board, so even on longer trips, you'll travel in full comfort. The boat sports a fighting chair to help you reel in monsters and outriggers to cover more water. The captain will provide a variety of quality Penn, Shimano, and Daiwa fishing equipment, as well as lures and live bait.
You can target a huge range of species in these bountiful waters, and your guide will gladly adjust the trips to your preferences. On shorter excursions, you'll cast your line around nearby reefs and target Yellowtail, Red Emperor Snapper, Rockfish, Bonito, and more.
Longer expeditions will put you on the trail of the prized Billfish that come to the local waters in summer. That is the best time to chase the next trophy Sailfish or Marlin. Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, and Wahoo are also among the most popular catches.
While the captain is finding the best bite, the first mate will be there to help with everything else, including catch cleaning and filleting. For all his good work, 15–20% is customary and appreciated.
Come with your family or friends (or both) and spend a memorable day on the waves. You'll have drinks on board, it's up to you to pack plenty of food to last the day. Also, you should buy a fishing licence before you come aboard.
Head out with Aqua Nautical Adventures and let them show you the outstanding fishery of Durban!

4 Hour Trip – Backline/Harbour on May 11, 2024 • 6 adultsWe did a backline cruise for a bachelors weekend. Was great fun. Made sure to take us around a few spots to get a catch. The boat also has bluetooth connectivity so could keep the vibe going all day with the sound system in board.
Shayne Wright5.0VerifiedHeyne and Colin were fantastic
6 Hour Trip – Mid/Deep Reef on December 27, 2023 • 4 adultsWe set out to catch a Mahi Mahi and had one within 2 hours. Colin was great at setting the rods and assisting with anything we needed. Heyne was a great captain with excellent communication and a good sense of humour. An excellent trip all round (if only my fellow fisherman didn't get seasick)
