It’s time to have the adventure of a lifetime and join The Reel Thing Charters for an awesome trip out on the water. Captain Mark Ratchford has decades of experience and is the only captain to have fished the entire Australian coast in a 5-month journey. You know you’ll be in capable hands with him.

Step on board his 28’ Axium, recently restored in 2018, which is ready and raring to go. This great vessel can comfortably fit groups of 8 people. Whether you are celebrating one of life’s milestones, having a big family vacation, or a work team building, this is the perfect boat for you.

With twin 175 HP Mercury engines on board and full navigational equipment, you are sure to be on the fish before you know it. The fishfinder, paired with Capt. Mark’s extensive knowledge of the area, will give you the best chance to catch your dream fish.

Species available are huge and include Australian Salmon, Snapper, Flathead, Snoek, Rock Cod, and Gummy Sharks. Whether this is your first fishing trip or your hundredth, you are sure to have a blast during your trip.

You’ll have the opportunity to try a variety of techniques – let the captain know what you would like to do, and, depending on the season and which species you wish to target, he’ll advise accordingly.

Children are welcome on board – they are sure to have some incredible stories after the trip to tell all their friends back at school.

Included in the price are all rods and reels that you’ll need for the trip. You are welcome to bring along your own refreshments on the day. Alcohol is allowed in moderation but strictly no hard spirits or glass bottles.

Contact the captain for trip policies. Notify in advance if you have a medical condition. Note that the departure time and place depend on the weather and they can be changed.
