There is a place not far away, where the warm Agulhas current winds its way on a never ending journey south, bringing with it clean water and nutrients to feed the abundant life it supports.

It is here that we are given the chance to explore the wonders of the Indian Ocean. Where Humpback Whales pass by on their annual migration north to their breeding grounds and Bottlenose Dolphins frolick behind the waves all year round.

It is here where our love for the oceans and all its wonders were born and out of passion continues to grow.

Allure was the top tag and release boat over the 2003/2004 marlin season off Durban with 28 fish tagged and released. In December 2002 Allure bagged the record for the biggest marlin caught off Durban, a black marlin of 506lbs.

Share our passion for game fishing and join our pilgrimage as we follow the seasons on South Africa's East Coast. Deep sea fishing requires a solid, dependable vessel with both the speed and the comfort to make your deep sea experience a pleasurable occasion. The sea does from time to time, to turn into a rough neighbourhood; with us you will feel both comfortable and safe. Our equipment is of the highest quality, and we never under any circumstances compromise on safety Standards, with us you are in good hands.

Fishing is our passion, and for the adventurer at heart, the Allure welcomes you on board. We offer a variety of cruise options from corporate entertainment and team building, to catering for nature loving bird watching enthusiasts. Observing birds in the presence of dolphins and whales is a great adventure experience and an excellent way of putting the stress of the world behind you.

Our Charter Philosophy
Allure's skipper and crew are there to help and make sure that you catch fish. We're a dedicated charter operation that will deliver more than just a superior boat. Consistent success is not the result of luck, it takes a well coordinated crew with better than average tackle and a well designed boat to make it all happen.

Ladies Please Note, our boat is not restricted to big strong men only. With our great sound system, plasma television and a warm cozy seating area, why not have your next girl’s night out onboard. Our vessel makes for a great alternative book club venue, and also serves as a great booze cruise boat.

uShaka Marine World

uShaka Marine World in Durban is a world-class entertainment and tourism destination. At the end of Durban's Golden Mile is the beginning of uShaka Marine World - spanning over 15 hectares of prime beach front, uShaka Marine World is Africa's largest Marine Theme park.

Some of the Highlights at uShaka Marine World include:

Rocky Touch Pool:
Have you ever touched a starfish? Have you ever felt the skin of a sea cucumber? No? Then this is the place to do it - gently of course - with the help of a specially trained guide.

The Open Ocean:
Gazing through an enormous window 8m long by 3m high you'll feel as though you are actually standing underwater with the many fish associated with the open ocean such as tuna, pompano, dorado and rays.

Dangers of the Deep:
Get ready to meet some of the most feared creatures of the deep? Sharks, sea snakes, devil fire fish and stone fish occupy this area where from the surface you might even be able to touch a shark as it swims past a purpose-built balcony at feeding time.

Coral Gardens:
Bright yellows and reds, oranges and blues - nature manages to put so much beauty into a coral reef, and of the richest and most diverse ecosystems on earth that has been recreated for you within Sea World.

The Deep Zone:
The deep zone is a window into the lives of some of the weirdest and most spectacular animals inhabiting a world hundreds of metres below the surface of the ocean, often in total darkness.

Penguins:
The African Penguin is an endangered species. However, our breeding colony will provide you with a special opportunity to see these rare birds as they 'fly' through the water and waddle on land.
