Harbour fishing Durban trips fish inside the port, in the bay and channels of Durban harbour. The water is calmer than at sea, so they suit young children, first-timers and anyone worried about seasickness. They are also the cheapest boat trips in Durban.

Harbour Fishing Durban FAQs
Is harbour fishing good for children?
Yes. The water is calm and trips are shorter. Check the operator's minimum age.
Can harbour trips run when the sea is rough?
Often, because the boat stays inside the port. The skipper still decides on the day.
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.
