Gold Coast has a fish with your name on it, so let Paradise Fishing Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Tony can tell you all about them.

Cobia, Yellowtail Amberjack, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Hammerhead Shark, Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, Pink Snapper, Pearl Perch, Flathead, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year.

On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll find yourself aboard a 52' Aluminum fishing with capacity for 27 passengers, but can only fish 16 people at a time. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count,

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water supplied for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation and NO Glass please

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Paradise Fishing Charters.

    amazing trip

    5 Hour Deep Sea/Reef Trip PM on April 18, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Best Charter ever, Tony and all the deck hands Brad, Andrew and Murat were amazing. Kept everyone fishing the entire time, if you got a tangle, issues or a fish on they were there to help get you sorted and the line back in the water asap, couldn’t be happier. Caught over 100 fish and loved it, thankyou so much to all

    A great day

    5 Hour Deep Sea/Reef Trip PM on May 30, 2025 • 5 adults

    Even though the day was wet and gloomy, we all had a great time. The crew caught several tuna and gave us the rods to land them. A very good experience for us novices. Saw some huge sharks trying to take our catch too.

    Great day out!

    7 Hour Deep Sea/Reef Trip on September 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    The captain and crew were very knowledgeable, approachable, and skilled. They were constantly keeping watch over everyone and jumping in to help when necessary. We felt very safe and confident with them. There was 15 of us on a bigger boat than most charter boats we saw earlier that morning that just looked cramped. We saw dolphins, whales, and even a shark on our journey! Theres also the option to go upstairs for an even better view. The staff were also empathetic toward sea sick travellers and helped were possible. Our 2 boys had a great time catching saltwater fish and learning about the different species compared to the freshwater fish theyre familiar with. Thank you all for a great day out!!

    Five Hour Paradise Deep sea Fishing

    5 Hour Deep Sea Trip AM Private on November 2, 2025 • 13 adults • 1 child

    We had an excellent time on this fishing trip! From start to finish, the experience was highly positive. The crew was a highlight - they were genuinly friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and fishing techniques. They made sure everyone felt welcome and assisted promptly when needed. The only real downside we notices was the rod spacing. The fishing spots were set up a bit too close together, resulting in frequent tangled lines. Overall, I would recommend this charter.

    Great day on the water!

    5 Hour Deep Sea Trip AM on December 15, 2025 • 1 adult

    A tougher day fishing overall…but it was great to see Tony and his crew moving us around and trying different spots and techniques. He has everyone set up with some pretty solid gear, good bait and on the spot to assist. i would recommend this charter…when i come back to Australia, i will hope aboard again one day!

Response from Charter operator

Thanks for your kind words christo. Because we were drifting everyone had to fish on one side of the boat or the back part Of the boat. If we were on anchor we could have fished all around the boat. As for tangles We get tangles with five people on the boat not much can be done about this This is fishing
