Fishing Valhalla
Tours and Packages
Conveniently located in the centre of some of the best tuna fishing grounds in the world, Fishing Valhalla operates from Hout Bay across the South, West, and North of Cape Town’s offshore and inshore zones.
Offshore trips typically run 15–40 nautical miles out during the warmer months (October to May), targeting powerful pelagic species. Inshore sessions focus on iconic areas around Cape Point, Robben Island and False Bay, where consistent action and varied techniques keep things exciting.
No experience? No problem. Experienced angler chasing a challenge? We’ve got that too.

Advanced Offshore Tuna Charter
This is the one that sets us apart.
Very few charters offer true light-tackle yellowfin tuna fishing — and for good reason. It’s demanding, technical, and not for the faint-hearted.
If you’re an experienced angler looking to test your skill (and patience), this is your trip.
Why it’s different:
-
Yellowfin tuna on light-duty tackle
-
Longer fights, higher skill requirement, massive reward
-
A serious challenge, not a numbers game

Specialised light-tackle gear
