AHOY! THE UMZIMKULU FLEET SETS SAIL FROM SPILLERS WHARF!
PORT SHEPSTONE, SOUTH AFRICA – Heed the call, ye landlubbers and salty sea dogs! Umzimkulu River Cruises has officially hoisted the Jolly Roger and is inviting all brave souls to join our crew for an expedition into the wild waters of the Umzimkulu Estuary
The fleet is moored and ready for navigating at the legendary Spillers Wharf in Port Shepstone, where adventures depart on the hour, every hour, from 8 bells in the morning (8 AM) until 5 PM. Whether ye be seeking a quiet voyage or a raucous celebration, our "Big Boat," the Argey Bargey, is prepared to lead the way .
Hunt for River Monsters and Rare Bounty.
Sharpen your harpoons (or just rent our fishing tackle) as we scout the depths for legendary beasts [Conversation]. Recent sightings have confirmed Zambezi sharks prowling the mouth—witnessed in a dramatic battle against a Garrick in the brown waters—and the elusive, rare African Finfoot hiding in the reeds. Keep a weather eye on the horizon for soaring Fish Eagles and ancient sea turtles gliding through the estuary.
For those seeking the ultimate fishing prize, we offer:
Night Fishing Expeditions: Fishing is at its finest under the cover of darkness (by prior arrangement).
Supplies for the Voyage: We have tackle for rent and bait for sale right at the dock.
Gold and Doubloons
Joining the crew won't cost ye a chest of gold! For a cheerful R150 per person per hour, you can enjoy cruising, fishing, or birding.
Grand Celebrations
Our multi-vessel fleet can carry a boarding party of 20 to 25 passengers, perfect for Pirate Weddings, Birthdays, and even Baby Showers!
