If you are looking to battle some exciting pelagics like Yellowtail, and Cape Salmon, you have found the right place. Head down to Simon's town and Granger Bay and join Outrageous Fishing to run deep and master your cast!

Check the bite close to shore and get your hands on Yellowtail and Snoek. Hit the reefs in and around Cape Point, Robben Island (Atlantic Ocean), and False Bay (Indian Ocean) for the likes of Red Roman, Cape Salmon, Cob, and Hottenton.

Spend your day enjoying the inshore bite. Don't forget to bring your younger anglers with you – the crew will gladly teach them to not only be fishermen but also how to take care of the ocean and the underwater life.

Outrageous Fishing operates a 18' Ace Craft boat, fully refurbished in 2018. This spacious vessel can cruise at a top speed of 30 knots thanks to its twin 100 HP Yamaha engines.

The boat is surveyed and approved by SAMSA and rigged with modern navigational and fishfinding electronics to build up a clear image of where the fish are hiding. It is also outfitted with the finest reels by Shimano for your pleasure and an array of professional accessories. The only thing that's missing is you!

All trips come with the use of conventional gear, tackle, bait, lures, and a complimentary cleaning service of whatever you will be eating. Please, bring your own spearfishing and fly fishing equipment.

Highlight of Our Africa Trip
Half Day Trip - Reef (PM) on June 1, 2026 • 2 adults

Brought my 18-year-old son to Botswana and South Africa with me as a high school graduation present. The one thing he most wanted to do was ocean fishing in Cape Town. We found Outrageous Fishing Charters online and reached out through the Fishing Booker website and app. Byron answered multiple questions and set up the perfect trip for us. We caught fish the entire time we were out. We are not experienced fishermen, but the crew patiently taught us what to do. Kudos to Byron and staff for first-rate customer service.

Memories made, amazing day out!
Special 6 hour trip for Elaine Walker on December 11, 2025 • 3 adults

What a great day out. I went with my two boys 16 and 13. Mike and Francois were very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and were terrific with the boys. We all caught yellow tale, got to see some beautiful wild life and take in the scenery. We were given advice on what to take for sea sickness, thankfully we didn't need it. After our adventure and Mike's recipe ideas we got to enjoy our catch at home. Mike even checked that we made it home okay as we did have a long drive back to Fisherhaven. Thanks again guys for a memorable day out. We'll definitely book again!

Great Trip in off-season
Half Day Trip - Inshore (PM) on July 4, 2026 • 1 adult

What I really appreciated with Marius and Francois was their honesty (fishing conditions were tough) and their commitment (they would their best to put me on the fish). I wasn't disappointed - we caught about 4 species (2 were new to me but on my bucket list). Some nice size specimens. Lots of fish and tight lines. The trip was great and I will do it again in the summer - targeting different species in what has to be one the most beautiful parts of the world. Richard Boys

Amazing Experience!
Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on December 4, 2025 • 2 adults

We had a truly wonderful day out on the water. Both the captain and the skipper were incredibly kind, helpful, and professional throughout the trip. We caught plenty of beautiful small- and medium-sized fish, which made the experience really enjoyable. The highlight of the day was getting to see many whales and dolphins up close — an unforgettable and breathtaking moment. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic and memorable fishing adventure!

Fantastic day fishing off the point
Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on March 5, 2026 • 2 adults

We did an early morning launch with Francois (skipper) from Millers Point. Perfect fishing day, caught a couple of yellowtails against red rock. We then went further out where the tuna were jumping and managed to hook one. After a fight, he showed us his colours and then snapped off. We made up for it with a final catch of 9 x yellowtails and 1 x skipjack. Fantastic trip, highly recommended!

Good morning Cindy, I am glad that you had such a great experience with us. Those tuna jumping like that were something to behold. Hence why I called you to come out further to enjoy the fun with us. We look forward to having you join us on board again in the near future and hopefully for a tuna trip. Enjoy the rest of your holiday Yours in fishing Byron Ashington

Outrageous Fishing is owned and operated by skipper Byron Ashington, who captains the Depth Charge. His other charters are skippered by long-time captains and friends. All of the captains and crew are experienced and dedicated to providing a quality service. Byron has been fishing his entire life and has over 40 years of experience on the water, particularly with deep-sea charters. He has been a skipper since 1986 and has been fishing off Cape Town since 1984. He has a number of South African and All Africa records to his name, as well as a World Record. Byron started his own charter company in 1999. He says, “I was born into an angling family and have been angling for over 40 years in the recreational, commercial, and charter sides of angling. Having reached my goals in competitive angling, I now get a thrill out of helping experienced and inexperienced anglers catch their dream fish.”

    Francois and Gabriel provided an incredible day on the water - all in all we caught 6 yellowtail and a handful of reef fish. Along the way we got to see penguins, seals, dolphins, and more - with seals snatching the fish off our line multiple times and running away with it. All in all a wonderful experience and we hope to come back sooner than later! Thank you team!

Today was a great day for the commercial vessels with wonderful catches of Yellowtail. So the season keeps getting better and better. Whilst the bite is on, come and join us for a family day on the water. Keep the rods bending Capt Byron
