Full Day - Reef & Sport (Private) on September 25, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain JB made everyone feel welcome and really wanted us to have a greatime. He was constantly changing rigs, re baiting, untangling lines , organising food and drinks. The most comfortable I have ever felt on a charter boat in my 30 years as a Darwin local. Will definitely be back again and highly recommend them to anyone wanting a great fishing experience. Thanks guys:)

Full Day – Reef & Sport (Shared) on July 21, 2026 • 2 adultsHeaded out for a shared full day charter with Lochy into the blue water offshore and it didn’t take long to find some decent fish. Lochy was fantastic showing great knowledge of fishing the area also happy explaining fishing methods but also showing his knowledge of other styles that he had picked up from time in other fisheries ranging from Cairns,Newcastle,South Australia and Western Australia from his many years on the water. Boat layout was top notch with plenty of room and space for the 6 of us to fish comfortably with a smooth ride but mostly a cold esky for our catch and victory beers on the way home.

Full Day – Reef & Sport (Shared) on March 5, 2024 • 2 adultsI was very impressed with the captains on both occasions during this fishing trip. They were both friendly and knowledgeable of their duties and had no problem performing their tasks. They helped everyone on board to catch a great number of fish.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us Jarryd. It’s great to hear the fish were on the chew early and that the day delivered from start to finish. Lochie will really appreciate the feedback. He’s built up a wealth of knowledge from fishing right around Australia, and it’s great to hear you enjoyed learning from his experience while still getting plenty of time with the rods bent. We’re also glad the boat layout, comfort and space onboard made the day enjoyable for everyone. A cold esky full of fish and a few well-earned victory beers on the trip home is never a bad way to finish a day offshore! Thanks again for choosing Offshore Boats, and we hope to see you back onboard for another session next time you're in Darwin. Cheers, Offshore Boats Team 🎣🤙
if youre on the fence, get off and get onto these guys. absolute professional outfit. put us on the fish immediately then we mived a few times catching fish at every stop. i couldn’t believe how well we did. i picked up two massive Jewies (119 and 112cm). huge theought the shoulders. Josh was a legend. will 100% become a regular.
Now that's a day on the water! Two monster jewies at 119cm and 112cm is an unreal result, especially on top of catching fish at every stop. 🎣 Josh will be stoked to hear the feedback. He works hard to keep the rods bent and make every move count, and it certainly sounds like it paid off on your trip. Thanks for the huge recommendation. We love hearing you'll be back and we'll happily welcome you as a regular Mark! Cheers, Offshore Boats Team 🎣🤙
Great trip great crew loads of fish including 2 sharks
Good fishing and a ripper boat- the walk around centre consol gave us surprising space for 6 people. Great setup with updated gear so a ripper day.
Hi Russel, Thanks for the awesome feedback! Great to hear you enjoyed both the fishing and the boat setup. The walk-around centre console really does make a difference when you’ve got a full crew onboard, so it’s great to hear everyone had plenty of room to fish comfortably. We’re also glad the gear and setup hit the mark and helped make it a ripper day out on the water. Appreciate you coming out with us and hope to see you back onboard again soon. Cheers, Offshore Boats Team
