Topwater Sportfishing Game Fishing

If you’ve dreamed of landing a trophy-sized fish in stunning waters, then Topwater Sportfishing Charters has the trip for you. Come aboard the luxury vessel and explore the Pacific Ocean out of Cairns. These waters are home to monster creatures, so get ready to work up a sweat as you land that prized fish.

Come aboard the 46’ pleysier “KIAMA”
offshore sportfishing boat and discover it all. Up to 6 guests are welcome aboard to make yourselves at home. The air-conditioned cabin comes fitted with plenty of comfortable seating, along with a bunk, galley, and private toilet. Captain Andrew will even provide you with soft drinks, snacks, and lunch, so you’ll be treated to the full service.

When it comes to fishing, no expense has been spared on the boat. She boasts all the latest navigational equipment, along with downriggers, outriggers, and a flybridge to give you the edge over the fish. When you hear the reels screech, settle into the fighting chair and enter battle.

From Red Bass, Coral Trout, Snappers, and Mackerel, to Mahi Mahi, GTs, Tuna, Sailfish, and Marlin, you’re never short of fish to target. Each of these beasts will make you work hard for your catch, so get ready to put your fishing skills and physical strength to the test.

Capt. Andrew promotes catch and release, but you’re welcome to take some fish home for dinner. He’ll happily clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip, so there’s nothing left for you to do. With the chance to cool off by going snorkeling, Topwater Sportfishing Charters promises a fishing trip like no other. Come aboard and discover the magic of fishing in Cair

I was raised fishing and working on boats, my dad owned and operated charter boats in NSW. When I was 16, I completed my first commercial skipper ticket (couldn’t use it until I was 18) when I was 17, I came to Cairns and worked on a game boat my dad drove for a season, that made me want to live in Cairns. I came back for each light and heavy tackle season after that, working on various boats, and officially moved here when I was 20. I did a 3-year stint on a remote sport fishing charter company that goes as north as PNG, then I became a skipper and now I run my own charter business! I love fishing, it can be both relaxing and challenging and you never know what the day will bring. I especially love fishing when it comes to other people, catching them their fish of a lifetime or a record. My favorite species is Marlin (Black Marlin particularly)
