About Hooked On Africa Fishing Charters
Hooked On Africa is one of Cape Town's most reviewed deep sea fishing charter operators, running sport fishing trips out of Hout Bay harbour on the Atlantic seaboard. With boats moored at the jetty in front of the Lookout Deck restaurant, they put anglers onto yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, snoek, Cape salmon, and other pelagic species in the rich waters off Cape Point and the continental shelf.
Their fleet includes purpose-built charter boats rigged with quality tackle and fish-finding electronics. Trip options range from half-day inshore jaunts targeting yellowtail and snoek to full-day offshore expeditions chasing tuna on the deep banks. All gear, bait, and crew are included. They also run crayfishing trips during the West Coast rock lobster season and can accommodate private group charters for up to eight anglers per boat.
Hooked On Africa has built its reputation on repeat clients and word-of-mouth referrals, backed by consistently strong reviews on TripAdvisor and Google. The skippers have decades of experience reading Cape waters and know the seasonal migration patterns that put fish under the boat. For visitors wanting a genuine South African fishing experience — not a tourist float — this is one of the top charter operations in the Cape.
