You're likely to fish for Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Kingfish, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. You'll target your catch by fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Christo will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

Christo's boat was unusable and he and Ilze had kindly arranged for Henk du Plessis to take us out instead. It was our first experience of deep sea fishing and whilst we only caught one fish, a couta, we had another fish eaten by sharks and a dorado get off. We also enjoyed seeing three whales, a dolphin, and some very big sharks. Henk, a SA representative fisherman, was fantastic and very patient with our inexperience. He was keen to stay out for longer! He and Christo and Ilze arranged for the fish caught by my son to be cooked for our dinner at Sodwana Bay Lodge. What an awesome meal and the best fish I've had in over 25 years. A great end to a memorable day. 😀
Thank you so much, Rod, for your wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure having you and your family with us. We're delighted that, despite the change of boat, you still had such a memorable day on the water and got to experience the incredible marine life that makes Sodwana Bay so special. A big thank you as well for your kind words about Henk—he'll really appreciate them. We're also thrilled you enjoyed your fresh couta for dinner! We hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure, and next time we'll make sure we go after that dorado again! 🎣🐋😊
We had a fantastic day out with Skylar Blue Fishing Charters! Our skipper, Christo, was excellent—not only is he a highly skilled captain, but he's also incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the marine environment. It's great to fish with someone who cares so much about the ocean. Highly recommended for a top-tier experience!
Christo and Ilze mad our trip very special, as ot was our first time. we caught the fish we wanted. Christo's knowledge about the sea is fantastic as well as his skipping skills. This trip would be perfect for the whole family.
🌊 Absolutely unforgettable! Had the most incredible day out with Skylar Blue – professional crew, top-notch gear, and the ocean delivered! Hooked a beauty and made memories for life. Highly recommend for anyone serious about fishing or just wanting an epic ocean adventure. 🎣🐟
Thank you for choosing us and we hope to see you soon
