Tugela
Tugela
The Tugela boat ramp is a launch site situated on the Thukela (Tugela) River along the KwaZulu-Natal coast of South Africa. A launch fee of R200 applies, and there is no tractor service available on site. Conditions at this ramp can vary considerably.
Depending on the state of the river mouth, boaters may launch directly through the Tugela River or alternatively from the adjacent beach.
Anglers and skippers should assess conditions carefully before launching, as the two options present quite different challenges. For current information, contact Jan du Plessis at 084 549 8210.
