December fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (PM) on December 28, 2025 • 4 adults
Had an amazing day out on Adam’s fishing charter. From start to finish he was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. He was super knowledgeable, patient, and great at explaining everything, which made the experience enjoyable for everyone. Adam made us feel comfortable and well looked after, and he worked hard to get us onto the fish. Couldn’t have asked for a better charter, highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for an awesome fishing experience.

Fabulous Anglers fishing charter right here in Sydney!
4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (PM) on January 12, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child
The captain was professional and wel organised during the preparations and the fishing trip on his fishing app so we knew what was happening. He managed despite the strong waves and my grandson loved it. The captains dog is particularly appealing for kids. Motion sickness management advisable before you board which we did for our 11yo. Equipment and bait included so appropriate hat, warm clothing, a towel in case you get wet and sunscreen all that’s required. Too easy!

Great choice for solo travelers and first-time anglers
7 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on September 30, 2025 • 1 adult
I had such a great experience with Adam’s charter. As a solo traveler, it’s usually hard to join a fishing trip without booking the whole boat, but Adam kindly arranged for me to join a group with other guests. As a Chinese guest, I really appreciated that he thoughtfully placed me with other Chinese travelers, and even made an effort to learn some Chinese himself!
The service was excellent and Adam was very helpful throughout the trip. Even though most of us on the boat were beginners, we still caught plenty of fish. The biggest surprise was a huge kingfish caught with a lure from the back of the boat – definitely the highlight of the day! At the end, Adam carefully cleaned and filleted the fish for us, which was a very nice touch.
Overall, it was a wonderful fishing trip – friendly, professional, and full of good
memories. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Jingxuan for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled that we could make your solo trip comfortable and enjoyable, and it’s awesome to hear I made the effort to connect with you in Chinese — I always out of respect make an effort to learn the basic thankyou words that goes a very long way indeed and always eager to learn and make everyone feel at home. Catching that huge kingfish must have been a fantastic surprise, especially for a group of beginners! We’re glad you appreciated the little touches like cleaning and filleting the fish. Thanks for the high recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you guys back anytime for more great memories on the water!

The captain is extremely kind and welcoming. In particular, the crew member who boarded with the captain looks young, but is very professional, friendly, and attentive to detail. Whenever a passenger shows any discomfort while fishing, the crew provides immediate assistance without hesitation. While traveling to the fishing spot, passengers can enjoy truly stunning scenery, which adds to the overall experience. Today, every passenger on board was successful in catching fish, making the trip even more satisfying and enjoyable.
