Amazing Fishing Trip
Special 4 hour trip for Jeff Koltutsky on January 5, 20263 adults

This was an amazing fishing Trip! Lee-Ann and Jan were awesome at helping me organize, plan, and make this trip happen. We were a small group of 3, and Lee-ann was able to pair us with another group of 2 so we could all have an affordable fishing trip. Without her help, it would not have happened. Our captain for the day (Manny) and his first mate (Essau) were professional, educational, helpful, and fun! We caught tons of fish, and the action was good all day (my son kept count and said he caught over 20 fish; he was not able to keep them all, but was very busy and happy catching fish). We caught four different species of fish, and a guy on the dock helped us clean them. I took home as much as I wanted to cook up, and my wife said the fish was the best meal we had on our trip to South Africa. Thank you, Blade Charters, for an incredibly positive experience!

Full Day Fishing Trip on January 3, 20265 adults

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hermanus Fishing Blade Charters What an incredible experience from start to finish. We saw dolphins swimming extremely close to the boat, which was absolutely amazing and something I'll never forget. The crew was top-class - friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. They sorted out all the tackle for us, so we could just relax and enjoy the fishing. We caught plenty of fish and even had a braai at sea with boerewors, which made the whole experience even more special. Perfect mix of adventure, great company, and unforgettable moments on the ocean. I would 100% recommend Hermanus Fishing Blade Charters and will definitely be back again. 🎣🐬🔥
