Book your next trip with Dassen Island Fishing Charters and find out what makes the fishing in Cape Town so unique. We hold the record for the biggest Tuna caught in the country. A 138.6 kg Big-eye Tuna. 21/5/2026
All fish caught is equally shared, no fish is sold (It's illegal to sell your catch).
These waters are known for Yellowtail Amberjack, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Longtail Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Snoek, Skipjack, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.
You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialised in this area. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.
Capt. Vic will bring you aboard a 24' Carrycat 760 Walkaround with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a portable toilet on board for your convenience.
Rods, reels and bait are included for deep-sea and spinning.
You might need to get 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.
A few items to bring include bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
