Aquilla Fishing Charters is based in Wollongong, New South Wales, and brings three generations of local fishing experience to every trip. With deep knowledge of the region's most productive fishing grounds, the crew is committed to delivering an enjoyable and memorable day on the water.

Please note: this is a shared charter experience. While the vessel can accommodate up to 18 anglers, only 9 individual spots are available to book through FishingBooker. Booking all 9 spots does not guarantee a private charter, as other anglers may also be onboard. For private charter inquiries, please contact the skipper directly.

This shared charter operates on weekdays only, excluding NSW public holidays, and requires a minimum of eight (8) passengers for the trip to proceed. You'll fish aboard a spacious 60ft Conquest vessel, designed for comfort and stability.

Led by the experienced and friendly Captain Bobby, these 6-hour trips focus on both productive fishing and a relaxed, fun atmosphere. Target species may include Snapper, Pigfish, Redfish, Morwong, and Flathead, depending on conditions.

All rods, reels, terminal tackle, and bait are provided, so you can simply turn up and fish. Morning tea and a classic sausage sizzle are included to keep everyone well fuelled throughout the day.

Fishing licences are fully covered by the captain, and you're welcome to keep any legal catch.

Book your spot today and enjoy a great day of shared fishing aboard Aquilla Fishing Charters.

Christmas Fishing Party
6 Hour Trip - Shared Charter on December 22, 2025 • 9 adults

We had a group of 10 people on Aquilla for our end of year celebrations.. The boat is fantastic to fish from the Captain was great and even came out to chat and fish with us ..The crew were good the only issue I had was being a group of non smokers One of the crew was smoking and the smell of cigarettes is not nice even on a big boat.. The overall experience was Great and everyone had a fun time and caught fish..

Reported catch:

Hi Adam, we’re stoked to hear everyone had a great time and put some fish on deck! We also appreciate you calling out the smoking issue. We’ve had a word with the crew and reinforced our no-smoking policy while they’re on shift, so rest assured that won’t happen again. Thanks again for the honest feedback – it helps us keep improving. Hope to see you back out fishing with us again soon! 🎣🤙
