Zinkwazi

Zinkwazi Launch Site is a ski-boat ramp on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, licensed to KwaDukuza Municipality with a daily launch limit of 20 vessels.

A tractor service is available for pushing boats in and retrieving them, with a launch fee and per-crew-member charge applying. Shorebreak can be a factor on high tides, rocks lie to the south, and launches can become tricky when the river mouth is open.

Restrictions apply on certain public holidays. The site sees heavy recreational use, with ski-boats accounting for the majority of launches.

Private recreational fishing dominates activity, with bottomfish species — particularly kob — making up most of the recorded catch.

Offshore reefs such as Zetene, Jex Estate, Prince's Grant, and Sandy's are accessible from here and are known to produce couta, yellowfin tuna, and dorado. Boats on this stretch of the North Coast communicate on VHF Channel 69.
