Contact previously the captain. He will know if the weather is ok or not for your fishing. Some days in Capetown the wind is really strong, and the waves should be a problem. Cpt Peter called me 3 days in advance to suggest to change the date due the wind forecast. I did and don't regret.

It's better to plan some extra time, as the weather often doesn't allow for trips out onto the ocean.

Keep your dates flexible, allow a few days because the weather is less guaranteed in November. We had to wait for a calmer day to get out, so we allowed time and stayed flexible.

Let the captain cost the day to go out as the fishing can change on a daily basis. They know the waters so trust them :-)

Try to leave as early as possible to give yourself time to find the right areas, especially if targeting big game fish
Take sunscreen and water
Take photos as the surrounding sights are breathtaking. Possibility of seeing whales.

We had an awesome trip with Captain Donavan and Grant. Great chaps with plenty of stories which made the time out at sea extremely enjoyable. They are both top class fishermen and are very knowledgeable and know the area very well.
Our only regret was that we didn’t go out for a full day trip with them both.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a charter in Cape Town

Caught some yellow tail fish!
The crew is simply awesome and was such a great experience. Big up Captain Donavan and Grunt for skinning the fish there and then for us to cook today

Cpt. Peter is a experienced professional, knowing the place and the weather very well.
Decent equipment and lures, powerfull boat, not a yacht indeed, but enough for a funny fishing day with the family.

We had such a great time with Captain Donovan and Adam. They are extremely knowledgeable and were so patient in trying to find the right spots and technique so we could catch as much fish as possible, with the added bonus that we had great conversations the entire time. Would wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

We had a wonderful trip with Donavan and Matthew. We saw hundreds of seals near the boat and caught 10 really big yellowtail fish. Besides that, the communication and overall guidance by Donavan was excellent. Had a great afternoon with lots of laughs as well. We’ll come back to fish again!

From the moment we meet, Donovan’s passion, warmth and hospitality were overflowing that help to start the trip on a high. My kids warmed up to him and Matthew immediately. He was always ready to share and educate about the fishes (red roman, stonefish, yellowtail) and surroundings. Overall, we totally enjoyed ourselves! Highly recommended! 👍

A perfect day at sea. Everyone caught their fish. Donovan is a superb captain who makes the greatest effort to ensure fish are caught.

We went to 2 different locations, the guide was knowledgeable and well prepared for the different style of fishing in the two rivers.
We caught 5 fishes, lost one because of a line snap.
I would recommend this tour.

I would highly recommend this charter. Captain Donovan is very adaptive to clients needs and desires…he goes the extra mile for his clients. I never had the opportunity to bait my own hook or take a fish off the line all day, and there were probably 40-50 fish caught in 6 hours. Highly Recommend!

We may not have caught the biggest fish, but we had the best time! We caught several fish and got to try squid fishing, too. Donavan and team aren’t just great at fishing, but they are genuinely kind humans.

Donovan and his mate Armand just made this experience better than we could have imagined. We saw some incredible wildlife on the way which would have made this trip already worth it. We caught so much fish and thats really on Donovan who made sure we get to the best spots and chase the fish! Thanks so much for that day!!!
