Leaving from Cooktown! Calling all Big Game enthusiasts!

Get ready for the ultimate Extended Live-aboard Heavy Tackle Fishing Adventure with Bounty Hunter Cairns! Join us on a journey of a lifetime as we travel to the stunning Ribbon Reefs off Cooktown in pursuit of the legendary Black Marlin.

You will enjoy the comfort of our fully-equipped vessel, ensuring a comfortable and unforgettable journey through the Great Barrier Reef waters. We will be targeting the Giant Black Marlin, Sailfish, Spanish Mackerel, and more that inhabit these waters, depending on when you go.

You'll be fishing from a 43' O'Brien that can carry up to 4 passengers, liveaboard. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Plenty more facilities on board for your convenience.

Challenge yourself with our Heavy Tackle equipment as you go head-to-head with the Mighty Black Marlin. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your experienced crew will be by your side, providing guidance, tips, and stories of legendary catches from years gone by and previous trips. It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed and is BYO. At the end of the day, a great meal will be prepared while you watch the sun set on the reef.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a trip on the water with Bounty Hunter Cairns.
