Departing Port Douglas daily, AKULA Sportfishing is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard with AKULA, whose main priority is to get you onto fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging and popping based on the species you're targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of either 4 hours, 6 hours or 8 hour trips, where you'll be fishing for the likes of Coral Trout, Cobia, Sweetlip, Mackerel, Queenfish, Trevally, Red Emperor and Nannygai, plus much more, and please remember to not expect Outer Reef quality of fish on Inshore Reef charters.

We also put together custom itineraries for multi-day trips including accommodation, as well as extended live aboard trips.

Your boat for the day will be a 28' Offshore Marine Master catamaran that fits up to 10 anglers at any one time, however we choose to cap it at 8. Please speak with us if your group size is over 8 passengers. Minimum age is 10 years old for inner reef and Minimum age is 12 years old for offshore.

Use of rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing.

You'll be able to keep any legal species caught on private charters.

The boat will be supplied with non alcoholic drinks, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

Book your trip now and hit the water with AKULA Sportfishing.

Great day out with the family

6 Hour – Outer Reef Private Charter on October 3, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning out on the water, Jason our captain was awesome! Although we didn’t catch any edible fish, we caught lots of smaller fish, (can’t help spawning season). Couldn’t have asked for a better day out on the water!

An Amazing Time

6 Hour – Outer Reef Private Charter on December 26, 2025 • 3 adults

Jason was great. At first the fish did not want to bite, but he kept at it. We landed several fun catches, including a huge Nanny Gui (AKA Red Snapper). My son had the time of his life.

Estuary fishing

6 Hour – Outer Reef Private Charter on October 17, 2025 • 2 adults

Jason is a neat guy with a great attitude, Fishing was off ; weather wasn’t helpful so had to fish the estuary instead of heading out to the reef. Really enjoyed getting on the water and would recommend Akula as a solid charter operator.
