Shoki Charters runs angling trips out of Sydney and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. John will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in light tackle, heavy tackle, and trolling, all to get you on that bite. This involves 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Marlin, Tuna, and Swordfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 50' Precision boat that can safely take up to 10 anglers. This boat features a toilet, AC, ice box, and a fighting chair. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that's up to you is to use it as best you can.

Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The price of a given trip doesn't include bait, so be sure to get in touch with the captain about what your options are prior to the trip. You're welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated. This is a children-friendly charter, so you're welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

5 Hour Trip on January 2, 20267 adults

5 of us went fishing with very limited experience and had a fantastic time. We caught more fish than we could bring back with us and cooked one later that day on the BBQ. We even saw a hammerhead which was an exciting way to end the day. John and Johnny were patient with us and gave us tips/answered our questions. I’d recommend this trip without hesitation.

5 Hour Trip on October 11, 20254 adults

We hired Shoki for my son’s 13th birthday and it was better than we hoped for. Very accommodating crew and the boat was great. Fabulous day out on thr harbour catching fish, drinking champagne and music. We even took the dog! Thank you John.
