  Great Trip !

  6 Hour Trip - Inshore (AM) on August 31, 2026 • 5 adults

  Trip was great, we where kind of early in the season, but these guys really hunted fish for me ! It was my 50 th birthday and that was very nice present. We did also reef fishing, I would say that then its 100 % to catch fish as we did and a lot and all sort of species. Then whale came to see us ! and also we went to see seals and heard horror stories what had happen to white sharks that used hunt for seals. Then we got great tip from Captain Donovan about shooting range near by! So of course we went there as well, I got to shoot with UZI and Desert Eagle .50 cal. So pretty decent birthday !! Thanks a lot.

  More Than Just Fishing – An Incredible Day at Sea!

  6 Hour Trip - Inshore (AM) on July 18, 2026 • 4 adults

  What an incredible experience with Ocean Life Charters! A huge thank you to Donovan and Mickey for making it such a memorable family day. The fishing was great, but honestly, the entire experience was so much more than that. We were lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, and seals in their natural habitat, which made the trip absolutely unforgettable. We also caught some beautiful fish, tagged them, and released them back into the ocean, something we really appreciated as it reflects their respect for marine conservation. Donovan and Mickey were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made everyone feel welcome from start to finish. They went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing time. Thank you for a perfect family day out. We made memories we’ll treasure for years to come, and we’ll definitely be back!

  what a great way to spen a day!

  6 Hour Trip - Inshore (AM) on December 4, 2025 • 2 adults

  It was a privilage to be in the company of Donavan and Mikey. The charter boat was clean and well organised. plenty of tackle and bait for all levels, and on hand instruction from the crew for all levels and size of angler. Both Donavan and Mikey know there stuff and will also talk about the history of the area as well as the marine life it contains. Catch and release operated on the boat with some species being tagged for marine research. you are able to take what you need to braai later! plenty of fish caught and sone really goid conversation. i will definitely be looking this charter up again when i return to capetown and hope to catch that big one that got away. thank you both for a stunning day.

  Best Charter EVER!!!

  Nearshore charter - 1:00 PM on November 4, 2025 • 4 adults

  Captain Donovan and Mickey are the absolute best duo you could ask for on a charter. Cap Donovan was very communicative letting me know the weather was not favorable on the day l picked and we opted to go the next day. Best decision ever! We went out and got on the fish early. They didn’t wait around for the fish to come to us we were constantly moving to the fish. The shear excitement they shared while fishing is what you want in your captain and first mate. I’ve been fishing all around the world and this BY FAR was my favorite trip. Highly Highly recommend.
