Aqua Nautical Adventures – Blu-Ray is a charter boat operating on the East Coast of Africa, namely Durban - Kwa-Zulu Natal. Durban is also known as the ‘Sunshine Province’ with endless beaches and a cosmopolitan culture to make the atmosphere exciting and vibrant.

With their all year-round fishing waters, which carry a variety of Game & Reef fish, you can be sure that all of your desires will be fulfilled in some of the most beautiful tropical waters.

Aqua Nautical Adventures offers a wide variety of fishing techniques from chasing ‘Big Game’ to just spending time with family & friends on a day out on the ‘Big Blue’. So if it’s sitting in the fighting chair, vertical jigging, popping, trolling or bottom reef fishing, they’ll be sure to accommodate you.

Their 30’ Mallards, powered by twin 200 HP Suzuki outboards will get you to the fishing grounds safely and comfortably while listening to the onboard entertainment system.

She has most of the comforts of a home: enclosed cabin and upstairs helm from which you can watch the beautiful coastline or keep an eye on the activities below. The onboard toilet and basin also make the experience more comfortable. You can enjoy a refreshment from the onboard fridge in the saloon, away from the sun, until you hear the sound of a ‘screaming reel’. Onboard you will find all the fishing equipment that is needed for your target species.

Aqua Nautical Adventures keep a variety of makes and models to suit you, namely Shimano, Daiwa, Penn, as well as an assortment of Kona’s, lures, jigs, traces, and bait. So come on board ‘Blu-Ray’ and experience the amazing coastline for a day of fishing and breathtaking cruise.

Dad's b-day was a blast, TK and the crew looked after us and put us on the fish! With one of the party members not feeling well with a medical condition we had to cut the trip short and the crew assisted with this and got us back on land as soon as possible. We will be back for round 2!!

We did a 6 hour game fish charter with 3 people and ended up fishing the reefs. After trying a few, we found one with snapper and cob which were fun to catch. We caught about a dozen of each and the crew filleted a few for us to take home.

What a fabulous morning of fishing!

We cannot recommend the team highly enough! Fron the booking to the fishing itself, our experience was excellent. TK and Colin were awesome - so much fun but so professional. This is the best outfit we have fished with in South Africa - and our crew caught 5 big fish - Dorado and Wahoo. Thank you to everyone for making this such a great experience!
