Looking to catch some fish in Durban? Aqua Nautical Adventures is your ticket! With Captain Wilheyne at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Great Barracuda, Bonito, Mahi Mahi, Geelbek, African Pompano Jack, Blue Marlin, Musselcracker, Sailfish, and whatever else takes the bait. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. You can take home some of the fish you catch within size and bag limits. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home without any hassle. Your next meal doesn’t get any fresher than that!
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Capt. Wilheyne operates a 28’ Magnum performance fishing boat with space for 8 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 10–20% tip at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but be sure to let the captain know if you wish to bring your own.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality, with Aqua Nautical Adventures.

4 Hour Trip – Harbour Fishing
Thank you to the amazing crew on board who made the day an absolute memorable one. Living in the memory of my late dad and the one thing that was his absolute favorite. Fishing!!!! I have to say if anything i would really book another trip just to spend the day with the amazing sailor and his assistant. I left feeling absolutely sick and due to taking meds i have forgotten their names. However i would really thank them for being so warm and welcoming to my family and having us on board. We will always remember our new years day spent with you both. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for such an incredibly amazing day. Wishing you an amazing 2025 🙏

We had an amazing time on our 4-hour fishing charter with Sanele and Thulani! They were fantastic skippers who went above and beyond to ensure my family and I had a memorable day on the water. Their expertise and guidance helped us all, including my wife and sons, to reel in some great catches. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing trip in South Africa. Thanks, Sanele and Thulani, for an unforgettable experience!

Great experience from start of booking to directions on how to get there. Very knowledgeable Captain and 1st mate, extremely helpful and great service. Mix of different types of fishing offered made it a great overall experience! The little jokes during the morning had us smiling and laughing! Will definitely be back ! The worst of the day was hearing "up line" for the last time bringing our superb day to the end. Thank you again for Captain Heim and 1st mate Thabang! You gents are super stars!
