Head out on the ultimate fishing machine with Vida Loca Tuna Fishing! Hout Bay boasts one of the most scenic backdrops in South Africa. The run to and from the fishing grounds will take you past Chapman's Peak, Sentinal, Noordhoek Beach Kommetjie, and near or right under Cape Point.
These fishing grounds are surrounded by incredible contours, canyons, and upswells that create conditions for world-class Tuna fishing. The average fish in these waters comes in at between 50–70 kg. Competition-sized fish can even reach the 90–100 kg class.
You’ll be fishing from a 36’ Two Oceans Magnum boat that has enough room for 8 guests to join. Maintained by the Vida Loca crew, the boat and the equipment are kept at the highest level. You’ll get to lounge in comfort and relax in a bean bag as you ride out. Vida Loca’s Yamaha V8 motors will safely and powerfully take you to the hottest fishing grounds.
There are several species of record-sized Tuna you can catch here including Bigeye, Yellowfin, Albacore, and Skipjack. The crew will provide you with the best Penn fishing tackle there is and spare no cost getting you onto your dream fish. If you prefer to stay closer to shore, you can opt for a 3-hour light tackle adventure that's ideal for families with children.
Your captain also covers your fishing license, drinking water, and catch-cleaning service. Just bring your snacks and sun protection.
Join Vida Loca Tuna Fishing for the Tuna trip of your life!

Highly recommend James and his team. We had a great and comfortable experience aboard the Vida Loca. After a couple of hours trawling James put us on the fish and we all caught yellowfin in the 75kg to 90kg class.
