Top Gear Fishing Charters
Top Gear Fishing Charters
Join Top Gear Fishing Charters, a family-owned business, for a perfect day on the water. This Gold Coast, Spit-based operation focuses on running a professional safe boat and business. With over 45 years of industry experience, Captain Brian and his crew are here to share their wealth of knowledge and experience with you.
Their 38’ Berjun boat is an award-winning, purpose-built fishing vessel that has a powerful 420 HP Caterpillar engine. This energy efficient motor ensures low noise and no outboard fumes. The boat is stable, reliable, and designed for the open oceans of Australia. Undercover seating and roll-down sides will keep you cool and dry, while the large fishing deck offers plenty of room to move for up to 12 guests.
Captain Brian will provide fresh and live bait and the latest Penn and Shimano reels. There are reels for left-handed guests as well.
You will mostly target species such as Snapper, Flathead, Cobia, Kingfish, Goliath Grouper, Tailor, Grassy Sweetlip, Wrasse, Teraglin, Marlin, Mackerel, Tuna, and lots more. If the fish aren’t biting in one spot, the crew will move around to find the ones that are. Based on what you catch, Capt. Brian will gladly share his favourite fish recipes.
The boat is wheelchair accessible and it has a side door to make getting on the boat easy. Capt. Brian encourages everyone to come fishing with him. Just contact him before the trip and speak of your needs. He will always find a way to make fishing possible for anyone eager to join him on the water.
The Top Gear Fishing Charters team runs trips year-round. Capt. Brian and his team make sure that everybody on their boat has a great time, whether you are a beginner or a fishing veteran. You only need to bring a smile and a sense of humour for a great day out.

Great day out, we all enjoyed our time aboard !
Great Captain and First Mate, Captain Brian was very knowledgeable and tried his best to put us over all the good spots, Allan was also very helpful and understanding to us, and especially the few noobs in our group. We all had a great time and have already booked our next trip. Thanks again for a great day and we'll be back. Peter S.
