Wenbin Zheng5.0VerifiedGreat first fishing experience!
6 Hour Trip – Shared (AM) on July 18, 2026 • 1 adultFirst time ever fishing! The deckhand was super helpful and knowledgeable, always introducing the fish we caught, and the guests helped me figure out the gear. It was a very windy day and we got soaked, but the fishing early on at the first spot was amazing! The next few spots were quiet, but we had already caught plenty (most were small and safely released). We were bumped up to the 6-hour trip, but in hindsight, 4 hours would be plenty for a full experience! Thanks for a memorable day out.
Teunis Van Tongeren5.0VerifiedOutstanding Fishing Charter – Highly Recommend
4 Hour Trip – Shared (PM) on October 23, 2025 • 3 adultsFrom the moment we stepped aboard, the crew’s professionalism and enthusiasm set the tone for an unforgettable day. Captain and crew were exceptionally knowledgeable about the local waters, putting us on fish right from the first drop. Their expertise in reading tides, structure, and bait made all the difference—we had a great catch and consistent action throughout the trip. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, with top-notch gear provided. Safety was clearly a priority, and every detail was handled with care. The crew went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time—sharing tips, helping with rigs, and even filleting our catch at the end. If you’re looking for a professional, fun, and productive fishing experience, this is the crew to book. Already planning our next trip! 🎣 Highly knowledgeable, friendly, and focused on results—couldn’t ask for more.
Clement Desperrier5.0Verified50 cm coral trout!
4 Hour Trip – Shared (AM) on February 3, 2026 • 3 adultsAmong lots of 25-35cm fish of several species, one of the 8 guests caught a 50cm+ coral trout ! That's dinner sorted, definitely The crew was cool, really helpful and helps you if you need, but if you've fished before, they'll happily let you unhook your fish and put your own bait on We had a nice weather, cool music (jaws) and everyone caught around 10 fish, with 1 to 2 keeper each
Cathy Johnson5.0VerifiedAmazing trip
4 Hour Trip – Shared (AM) on March 27, 2026 • 2 adultsThe crew Tristan and Yoko were fantastic, we caught great fish from coral trout , sweet lip emperor and others. They filleted and boned them for us to take home. The gear we used was great and the boat was very well shaded and very stable. We had a great day and can’t wait to go back.

Sean SlotoschRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day even with choppy conditions
4 Hour Trip – Shared (PM) on October 4, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 childrenWhat a great day. Family of 5 went out on average very conditions with strong wind but the crew made it worth its while taking us to some great spots where we had minimal exposure to the swell all while still catching fish to take home. The kids absolutely loved it. Thank you!!!
Graham McauleyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day fishing.
6 Hour Trip – Shared (AM) on August 29, 2025 • 2 adultsGreat day out! Tristan and Rylan were awesome and very knowledgeable and they put us on the fish.
Ory De FinaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Job in testing conditions
6 Hour Trip – Shared (AM) on July 5, 2026 • 2 adultsCapt Dave and First Officer Yoko did a great job today in testing conditions. Although we were safe throughout the charter, the wind made the choice of fishing spots limited. Nonetheless, Dave and Yoko did a grea job and we all caught fish. Thanks guys and I appreciate your efforts. Tight lines! Cheers 😊
