Durban Bay, Vetch'S Pier
Durban Bay, Vetch'S Pier
Vetch's Pier — commonly known as "Vetchies" — is a boat launch site and man-made pier structure situated in Durban Harbour, South Africa, at the southern end of the Golden Mile.
The launch site falls under the jurisdiction of Transnet National Ports Authority and is monitored as part of the KwaZulu-Natal Boat Launch Site Monitoring System.
The Vetchies Basin operates as a no-wake zone, and the site is used primarily for launching rather than passenger transfers or recreational cruising. Skippers are required to carry a valid Skipper's Ticket and current Certificate of Fitness.
Launch activity recorded in 2022 included inflatables, jet-skis, and other vessel types, with private recreational fishing and charter fishing being the predominant uses. Notable catches of dorado and cuda/king mackerel have been reported by users of the site.
