Night Fishing

Out at half past five with the light going, a line over the side near a reef, and the crew sitting with you. Whatever you catch goes to the kitchen and comes back as your dinner. On the rare evening nothing bites, we grill you fish anyway.

Fish through the sunset

Leaving around 17:30 and returning about 20:00, the trip takes you onto the water as the sun sets, with dinner to follow back on Ukulhas.

You fish with a line and the crew is beside you the whole time, so nobody needs to have fished before. Ask us what to bring when you book.

It can work for families with older children. Two and a half hours on a dark boat is a long time for a small child, so tell us their ages and we will say what we think.
