Ocean Flair – Ocean Life Charters
If you're planning on fishing in Cape Town, look no further than Ocean Flair. Having logged many days on these waters, Captain Donavan knows them forwards and back.
Yellowtail, Roman, Skipjack, Black Bream, Dogfish, Cape Salmon, Kob, Snoek, Albacore Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, and more are in the cards, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Don't forget to bring snacks to keep their stamina going!
You'll be fishing from a 19' Billfish Forward Cabin with space for 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Donavan will supply rods, reels and baits for you, along with a variety of lures. Live bait is used when available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish.
Your fishing license is easily obtainable online, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Cap Don has a well established and professional business operation. Accommodating and friendly. Problem solving on bad weather and rebooking us on the perfect day. Mikey and Jason were our guides for the day. These guys just nailed it each time with exceptional knowledge of False Bay and fish finding. We caught 4 different species on the day. Yellow Tail x 4, Red Roman x 1 which we released to honour the years it takes this fish to grow. Panga x 1 and finally 4 x Smooth Hound Sharks. What an epic day. We highly recommended this company and the Team for a fun day out on the Big Blue.
hi Gillian thank you so much fo your kind words! the guys had a wonderful time with you on board, was reaply a trip to remeber for them! safe travels back home and hope everyone enjoys the fish when you get home! regards Donavan
I had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Donavan Cole. He taught me a tremendous amount about the ecosystem in general. (Fish, wildlife and marine life). It was very enriching. He takes the time to explain and speaks slowly for better understanding since English is not my native language. We caught several types of fish so we used different fishing techniques and we almost broke a size record! Incredible, I highly recommend!
thank you very much
Good-sized Red Roman, high seal activity and some sharks that added excitement to the catches
thank you David
