Blue Water Charters - Durban

Durban Deep Sea, Game and Marlin Fishing Charter - South Africa

Exclusive and Personal Charters

One of Durban’s most popular Charter Fishing boats, moored at Wilson’s Wharf Marina in Durban Harbour.

Our Boat has a good reputation and catch rate, with many satisfied and repeat customers.

Our Charter is for those anglers who are seeking an Exclusive Fishing Charter with Personal Attention on a well appointed boat fitted with top class equipment and tackle complete with guiding from a professional specialised angler.

We do not share our bookings which means that you, the angler get to do exactly what you want along with personal assistance and guiding.

We are licensed for 10 passengers and 2 crew, our fishing trips are limited to 8 passengers

We are not the cheapest, our aim is to give you the angler a comfortable, quality fishing experience which offers good value for money on a well equipped and comfortable boat.

Although we mostly get fish on our bookings and sometimes some nice big ones, there is no guarantee of fish, our best efforts are assured at all times. Otherwise we would call it “catching” and not “fishing”, the variables are too many.
