Umhlanga Rocks - Boat Charters

KwaZulu-Natal’s Sugar Coast is home to the popular resort town of Umhlanga, just 16km north of Durban’s CBD.

Holiday-makers head to Umhlanga for the golden beaches and glorious year-round climate and residents of this enticing seaside haven get to soak it up all year!

A Boat Charter is the perfect way to take full advantage of Umhlanga’s outdoors for visitors and residents alike. Chartering a boat is essentially booking the entire boat for the exclusive use of your group, whether it be a family outing, a trip focussing on photography or research, a fishing or scuba diving adventure or sight-seeing. Generally boat charters are fully serviced with an operator or crew provided, and for those with sufficient boating experience bareboat charters are also possible where you are responsible for the full operation of the vessel.

Boat charters and boat trips from Umhlanga generally launch in the surf from Granny’s Pool, an area of water sheltered by two natural rock outcrops. Private boat charters offer freedom and flexibility to explore, depending on the weather and sea conditions. Discover the spectacular coastline and admire Umhlanga’s skyline dominated by the ‘Pearl Dawn’, KZN’s tallest building. A variety of sea birds and marine life including dolphins and whales may also be observed and close-encounters with anchored ocean-going ships are impressive.

The hot summers and mild winters of the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast are ideal for ocean-based recreational activities so book your Umhlanga boat charter without delay!
