Full day fishing charters Durban run for 8 to 12 hours. The extra time lets boats go further offshore for tuna, dorado, wahoo and billfish, or spend a long day on the reefs.

Full Day Fishing Charters Durban FAQs
What time do full day trips leave?
Usually around 05:00. One operator's full-day trip is back at about 14:00.
Is a full day too long for children?
It can be. Consider a half day or harbour trip for young children.
Do I need a fishing permit?
Yes. Every angler needs a recreational fishing permit, also on a charter boat, and most Durban operators say it is not included. Buy one at a Post Office or online from the DFFE before the trip.
