Reviews

“Awesome Charters, just like the name said, it was awesome. Faegon and his team were incredible from when we made the booking right up to the day on the water. Everything was covered. I took my 10-year-old son on the boat, and he couldn't have had a better day if he tried.”  Terance Trim
“Julle is regtig AWESOME! Baie dankie vir n fantastiese uitstappie met baie vis!”  Danie Bruwer
“We had an amazing day on the water with Awesome Charters. The crew was incredibly knowledgeable. They took us out early in the morning and moved with the fish. Total count for the three of us on the day was 24 edible fish, which included yellow tail, red roman and a red Steenbras. Highly recommended and we will be back!”  John Camacho
“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 with videos and pictures. I appreciate everything! My dad had a blast!”  Da-Jey Van Der Walt
“Julle is AWESOME! Dankie Awesome Charters vir al die lekker charters saam met julle. Altyd fun en altyd op die vis.”  Kato Rabie

“It was an amazing experience! Awesome Charters is extremely professional, and the trip surpassed all our expectations. These guys know what they're doing. I will recommend them to anyone.”  Brandon Smit
