We had an amazing day out with Captain Murray. He was very knowledgeable and gave great advice. The boat and the gear was A1, we caught a few and would definitely book with Catch My Drift again if we return to Airlie Beach. it was definitely the best fishing charter we’ve been on so far. It was an amazing experience and definitely worth it, if you’re looking for a great charter this is the one to go on. Thanks very much Captain Murray!
Hi Mel Thanks for you great review and your persistence with the fishing in very trying conditions. Hope to see you again one day!

We booked an 8-hour charter with Captain Murray and the day could not have been better. We are keen fishos who wanted to make the most of our time on the water, and Murray understood that perfectly. He put us onto quality fish the entire trip and we fished every second we could. We landed well over 40 fish including Red Emperor, Coral Trout, Sweetlip, and plenty of exciting by-catches to keep things interesting. Murray delivered great banter, expert guidance, and an awesome lunch as well. His support, knowledge, and passion for what he does really showed throughout the day. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thanks mate, what a memorable day! 🎣🙌
Thanks for your wonderful review. It was great fun having you guys on board.
We had an amazing private fishing trip with our incredible captain (pictured in the middle with the blue shirt)—hands down one of the best outdoor experiences we've ever had! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, fun, and safe. The boat was spacious and well-equipped, and the captain was super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about fishing. He patiently guided us through every step, from casting the line to reeling in our catches—and we caught some beautiful fish! 🐟🎣 The scenery was breathtaking. Crystal clear turquoise waters, calm sea, and lush green islands in the background—it felt like a dream. After the fishing, the captain even helped us fillet the fish right on the boat. It doesn't get fresher than that! Huge thanks to the captain for making this day so memorable. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Whitsundays or nearby area. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer like some of us, this trip is absolutely worth it!
Thank you for your amazing review, great meeting all your family, so glad you had a great time!
Murray from Catch My Drift Charters was absolutely outstanding! His local knowledge of where to find the fish was second to none — he took us straight to the best spots, and we were pulling them in non-stop. What really made the trip special was how fantastic he was with the kids; his patience, enthusiasm, and knack for keeping them engaged turned it into a fun and memorable adventure for the whole family. We left with big smiles, plenty of fish, and even better memories. Couldn't recommend Murray more highly for an unforgettable day on the water!
Thanks for your wonderful review! You guys were great fun to have on board and very persistent with the fishing. Well done.
Capt. Murray is an experienced and passionate Skipper / Angler. His patience and guidance for Non anglers was outstanding. His bespoke vessel is extremely well equipped and kept in a tip-top condition. All the fishing tackle was pre rigged ready to target the ever changing conditions and the diverse fish species Lunch and snacks were provided and all were freshly prepared and very tasty. In summary, all 3 Family members had a fantastic day, a real memory maker.
Thankyou Andrew for your wonderful review. It was fantastic to meet your family and to share our beautiful backyard with you. A pleasure to have you all onboard!
