Superb day tuna fishing out of Hout Bay, I would highly recommend Matthew as a skilful, competent and knowledgeable skipper who not only knows how to find the fish but is also decent company

Although I don't usually write reviews, I thought that the world class experience I had with Xtreme Charters was worth sharing. Matt and his team put us into some unbelievable fish and their knowledge and expertise is second to none. Having never fished in the deep for yellowfin, I found that the advice and experience of those on the boat quickly got me up to speed culminating in my first yellowfin of around 40kg coming to hand within an hour of fishing. Overall we managed to have close to 20 of these monsters on the line throughout the day with one of close to 80kg coming loose at the boat. The boat was incredibly comfortable with a very relaxed vibe and the guides are there to answer any questions that you may have about both the fishing and the staggering amount of marine and bird life that abounds. Whether you are a seasoned deep sea angler or a novice like myself, I have no hesitation in recommending Xtreme charters for this once in a lifetime experience.

Was a great outing. I'm sure my sons will never forget catching their first Yellowfin Tuna. Thanks for your patience with them & with me Matthew.

Im not usually one for writing reviews but in this case I felt I had to share my experience as it was undoubtedly the best charter fishing trip I have ever been lucky enough to take.

The fact that we hauled in more tuna than I have ever caught in one trip in my life obviously made this trip a highlight for me, but it was oddly enough the captain and his first mate who really added the extra bit of flavour and made this my best trip ever.

I arrived at the harbour as the sun was coming up and the boat was prepped and ready to go. Top end gear and tackle, prepared bait boxes and plenty of drinks, snacks, sunscreen and even sea sickness tablets were tucked away in the cabin and before long we were sailing along the cliffs and heading out into the deep blue sea.

The captain was a veritable wealth of knowledge about the local area and kept us entertained with stories on the way out. Before too long we spotted the tell tale signs on the fish finder and our captain and his first mate went about helping everyone prep their rods, double checking to make sure everyone knew what they were doing even though we had all said we were excellent fishermen - I guess they have heard enough tall stories to know that not every person who steps onto the boat is as proficient as they make themselves out to be.

Anyway, fishing madness ensued and we were reeling in tuna after tuna until my arms could barely take anymore. Hours of fishing like this definitely takes its toll, but I couldn't have been happier to get so lucky. Our first mate kept the boat spotlessly clean through all this and we were fed a constant stream of drinks and snacks to keep our strength up. I wont even bother to tell you how many fish we caught because I am sure I would get called out for embellishing if I did, but we caught a ton, and it was awesome!

The thing is, even if I had caught only one fish, I think I would have had an amazing day as the whole set-up was just perfect. Many thanks to all the guys at Xtreme Fishing Charters. You can be assured I will be back! Excellent job. Thank you.
