Duvan van Breda – Owner

Duvan, a passionate fisherman, environmentalist, and entrepreneur, grew up along the pristine shores of Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, where his love for the ocean and fishing took root. After completing his BComm Entrepreneurship degree at Stellenbosch University, Duvan’s passion for angling remained his guiding light.

In his early years, he quickly made a name for himself in competitive fishing, representing the Western Province U21 team and, by age 19, earning a spot on the Senior A side, one of the youngest ever to do so. His success led to selection as a Protea angler, and he now proudly holds three Springbok Protea caps, continuing to represent South Africa.

After completing his studies, Duvan returned to the East Coast to pursue his dream: leading local and international anglers on unforgettable adventures. What began as a part-time venture, “Fishing with Duvan van Breda,” has since grown into the thriving Go Fish Africa.

A strong advocate for marine conservation, Duvan champions “tag & release” practices to protect South Africa’s rich marine life. While some species are caught for the table, sustainability is at the core of his philosophy.

As founder of Go Fish Africa, Duvan leads a handpicked team of skilled, passionate guides ensuring every guest enjoys a safe, professional, and memorable experience on the water.
