    5 Hour Trip Deep Sea Trip

    5 Hour Trip – Deep Sea max 8 people on October 28, 2022 • 2 adults

    My trip with Hookup Fishing Charters was fantastic! We had to reschedule from the original date I booked due to weather conditions but they were extremely flexible and accommodating to my schedule (as I was visiting from the U.S. on business). It was my first time deep sea fishing (though I’ve been fishing in ponds and lakes my whole life) and I caught my biggest fish yet! I also greatly enjoyed getting to know the captain and hearing about other fishing adventures with Hookup Fishing Charters while we fished. We even saw several whales and lots of dolphins on our way out to sea! If I’m ever back in Durban, first thing on the agenda will be another trip with Hookup Fishing Charters!

    A very unique experience ! And a so friendly crew

    5 Hour Trip – Harbour Trip Night on March 3, 2023 • 1 adult

    Weather conditions didn’t allow to go to deep sea. We did a night session in the harbor and it was really amazing to fish not far from big cargoes, with all the lights of the city, and the great activity around. The crew was really nice, preparing a meat barbecue on board . Extremely friendly atmosphere, I recommande at 100% and will definitely come back for a deep sea session
