Fishing Charters Durban

The ELANGENI is the most famous Fishing Charter Boat in Durban. Whether its Bottom Fishing (Reef Fishing), Light Game Fishing, Shark Fishing or Big Game Fishing, ELANGENI’s the name and charter fishing is our game. Come make your fishing dreams a reality on Durban’s top Charter Fishing vessel.

Nothing can compare with the thrill of surging through the cobalt blue water of the Indian Ocean to the deep sea fishing grounds off Durban with the salt spray on your lips and the lures dancing in the wake. Suddenly the line sings.

A huge Marlin leaps skywards in an attempt to strip the reel. Adrenalin pumps through you as you excitedly don your harness and wind the big fish in. This is a fishing thrill like no other, a moment to remember all your life. Welcome to our World!

There is no age restriction. Beginners and ladies are welcome and you may of course KEEP YOUR CATCH if you wish.
