What a great day! We found saltlife online and hooked a trip. It turned out to be one of the best trips of our holiday. Justin took us for a great boat ride and new a lot to tell about the ocean and the animals living in it. We had some great catches which we ate afterwards. It was fun, interesting and tasty. Thank you so much for this great trip !! What an adventure!

This was the best off shore fishing experience my family and I have ever had. My 8 year old son had a superb time - Justin helped him catch 19 catches in all. ( 6 sharks included). Justin and his mate were so friendly and easy to get along with and took into consideration our 4 year old daughter (she caught a Cobb too). The fishing was incredible, the experience was absolutely amazing. After the boat got us back to shore Justin organised that we ate one of the catches at a great restaurant where the kids experienced how their catch was cleaned and cooked. Super stuff!

Thank you Bawa! We're so happy you had a great time and enjoyed the catch and cook experience. Your kids were natural fishers and really did all the work to reel in the catches. Hope we get to fish with your family again soon!

What an incredible morning with Justin and Sea Life Fishing Charters! We caught over 40 fish, which made the whole experience even more exciting. It was my son’s very first deep-sea fishing trip, and seeing how excited he was made it so special. Justin was patient, knowledgeable, and fantastic with the kids, making sure everyone had a great time. Even my daughter loved being out on the boat (and managed to fit in a little nap too! 😊). Thank you for such a fun and memorable family experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Had an amazing trip and the first of many to come. Everything was well organised from start to finish, the skipper and deckhand was friendly, welcoming and the whole experience an absolute pleasure. Great atmosphere on onboard, great service and a memorable day out on the water. Highly recommended! Clinton

Really good day out, Justin was super professional and took us straight to the big fish, I would highly recommend taking a charter with Salt Life fishing. On return the fish were taken directly to Vikings to be filleted and couple portions cooked to perfection. Fantastic day out.

Incredible day on the water! Justin is friendly, engaging, and a true expert. I really enjoyed being able to ask him about different species, fishing skills, the industry, etc. - and he was very open and friendly about it all! We caught probably 6 different species, as well as grabbed a drink together after, along with some others on the trip. So much fun and eager to get out there again!

Although our trip was considered quite as we didn’t catch much we had a great time. The skipper invited us to dinner at a local fish restaurant where they cooked up our catch and had a few drinks together which made us feel very welcome. If I’m ever in SA again I will definitely make the effort to go out again.

It was a pleasure to go out fishing today with Salt Life Charters. They had us on fish right away and the action kept consistent the whole day. We caught several different species and I must say I had a sore arm from reeling in all those fish. The communication pre charter was excellent. Even swung us by Seal Island on the way back. I would recommend a private charter, well worth it. Thanks again for the great days fishing.
