    Always the best trips with Sensation

    8 Hour – Trolling and Bottom on September 24, 2026

    I have had multiple trips at the Shelly sea boat club for deep sea fishing. First tried other boats but once I went out with Sensation fishing charters I was hooked. The friendly service, great experience and quality boats and equipment is incompatible with my previous experiences. I will always make time for a trip when I am at the coast!

    What a fantastic day

    8 Hour – Trolling and Bottom on September 10, 2026

    From the launch right through to beaching, skipper Stompie and his team were in complete control, taking care of novice anglers and sharing wonderful insights with the more expereinced people. The booking process was easy. I will definitely join Sensational Fishing Charters on the ocean again

I grew up with the ocean as a way of life, learning the art of fishing from my father, a Deep Sea Marshal for SAMSA. Fishing has always been my passion and remains a big part of who I am. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion for fishing the waters of KwaZulu-Natal, while making sure everyone on board has a great time and an unforgettable experience on the water.
