Reviews

“We were a party of nine adults and four very busy kids for a tour. The boat has an eight-person capacity, so we went in two groups. Skipper Derek and owner Faegan were fantastic with the kids. The ride was custom-catered to the guests, with the senior group having a more sedentary ride. Our group's ride was exhilarating. We saw a couple of dolphins and cormorants. A trip with Awesome Charters would be the perfect vantage point to see whales when they are here. I recommend this for a fun afternoon.”  Fagmeedah Peterson

“Awesome Charters has one of the best fishing charter operations anywhere in South Africa. I have fished with them numerous times and enjoyed every trip”  Stefano Schoonees

“I'm situated in the USA and arranged a fishing trip as a gift for my dad in SA. Awesome Charters went above and beyond the call of duty and made sure Dad had the best day. They arranged a personalised T-shirt and photo. The fishing gear was included in the price. They even kept me posted on what was happening with videos and pictures. I appreciate everything! My dad had a blast!”  Da-Jey Van Der Walt
