Ocean Flair – Ocean Life Charters 

Serious fishing at the Cape: The crew—Donavan and Mike, both true-blue South Africans—are professional tuna hunters. You sense this the moment you step onto their fishing machines. We aren't exactly novices when it comes to fishing in Europe, but we realized immediately that the fishing experience with this crew is in a league of its own. It was only when we first headed out that we truly grasped the fantastic marine world we were entering; the area teems with wildlife, from fish to whales. And whenever these animals are in the bay or near the coast, these two specialists know exactly where to find them. They are consummate professionals—no gimmicks, just the real deal. Even the boat ride itself, without the fishing, was magnificent. We enjoyed perfect weather in September; there were three of us plus the crew on what we would call a 28-foot big-game fishing boat. We tried both trolling and reef fishing, catching about eight fish. We were accompanied by dolphins, very large sharks, and countless seals. Occasionally, tell-tale bubbles and small fins betrayed the presence of yellowfin tuna; even the crew would get excited, and the thrill of the hunt was palpable. The price was very fair for the experience. Thank you, Donavan and Mike, for your time, your professional expertise, and your genuine, friendly nature. My son will be in touch with you at the start of the tuna season; I hope you have a spot for him. Best regards, Thomas, Isabella, and Philipp.

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.

My husband and I had the best time with Mikey and Jayson! I’ve got very little fishing experience and they made everything very easy and fun. They were also super informative not just about the fish but all the wildlife, and I loved it. Very down to earth guys and extremely passionate about what they do. Would recommend to anyone!

Great crew..great day of fishing..17 yellow fin caught yesterday..Donavan and Mickie were awesome individuals

wir hatten einen super Tag in False Bay und konnten viele verschiedene Fischarten fangen!

Buena talla de Red Roman, alta actividad de focas y algún tiburón que añadian emoción a las capturas

J’ai fais une belle partie de pêche avec le capitaine Donavan Cole. Il m’a appris énormément de choses sur l’écosystème en général. (Poissons, faunes et flores). Ce fut très enrichissant. Il prend le temps d’expliquer et parle lentement pour une meilleure compréhension car l’anglais n’est pas ma langue natale. On a pêché plusieurs types de poissons donc plusieurs techniques de pêche et on a bien failli battre un record de taille! Incroyable je recommande!

i recomend a team and a capran, very professional and convenient
