6HR Game/Reef Offshore Fishing
What a perfect day!! The parking was easy to find and safe. The crew were friendly and welcoming. We started out on our trip in an absolutely spotless boat! I've done many trips and often boats are a little messy, this one was really clean. It has a cabin where you can sit out of the wind/sun if you should so choose. The sea was quite unsettled at the start but gradually settled through the day. Many humpbacked whales were spotted during this trip which was an added bonus. However, the main reason for this trip was to catch fish, and fish we caught! Tk, our skipper, and our deck hand, Colin, were excellent!! Baiting, placement, advice and teaching throughout! When i caught my sea salmon the excitement on the boat was infectious with high fives all around! A thoroughly enjoyable day which ended too soon!! (6 hour trip) I highly recommend Blue Ray, stop thinking about it - just book it!! Its incredible! My only regret is that I don't live closer to do it all again!

The trip was better than expected, our Crew were super tolerant. We caught fish, had fun, and made a memory. That was my expectation!

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.

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!
