The Cape waters have a world wide reputation for tuna fishing. Yellowfin tuna of over a 100kgs are landed but the average size of the fish is 50kg - 70kg.

The day normally starts at 7am when we cast off from Simon's Town jetty. We pass the S.A. navy base and the light-house at Roman Rock then make our way 12 nautical miles to Cape Point before heading out to the tuna grounds. This could be up to 40 nm but generally, it's between 15 and 35 nm from Cape Point.

We target Yellowfin tuna, one of the world's toughest, fighting fish and a smaller member of its family, the Longfin tuna. Very often Skipjack, Katonkel and Dorado (Dolphin-fish) are also landed.

Hooking up with one of the rulers of the blue world, the Mako or Blue shark gives a great fight, but these are caught on a strict catch & release basis only. Although not common, Marlin and Swordfish can be caught at certain times of the year.

On the return trip, it is often possible to catch yellowtail or snoek closer to Cape Point when the conditions are favourable.

Our day ends back at Simon's Town jetty at approximately 4pm.
