7 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on October 3, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was my first time on a fishing charter and it was a wonderful experience. The captain and crew were very helpful and knowledgeable about this trip. It was fun despite some dreary weather and we caught many fish.
Seongho Park5.0VerifiedMemorable Fishing Experience!!
7 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on December 17, 2025 • 1 adultThe 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.

Timothy Tirpak4.7VerifiedReally fun fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (PM) on August 21, 2026 • 1 adultSuper fun experience with our captain Adam. We caught about 20 fish over the course of our four hour trip. It was a really fun time the entire time I would recommend this to anyone that even just wants a ride out of the bay as we saw dolphins and whales.
Kirei Lam5.0VerifiedAMAZING!!!!
4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (PM) on October 16, 2025 • 2 adultsAdam is incredibly skilled and made sure all of us had an unforgettable experience! We had a blast on his boat, where he showed us the best spots to reel in some huge fish! And to top it all off, we even spotted a majestic whale! It was an adventure of a lifetime! Definitely will come again when we visit Sydney!
Nicholas Boyhan5.0VerifiedGreat Day Out
7 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on January 3, 2026 • 1 adultBrilliant day out. skipper could easily have cancelled due to weather conditions but went ahead. A few of us felt crook due to the swell but our safety was never comprimised. Loads of Flatties and other fish to keep us focussed. Thanks for a great day out.

4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (PM) on March 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childIt was 3 hours, but flew by, we decided it needs to be a full day next time.. still a lot of fun… bit of bad luck on the fishing as we only caught a few barely legal fish, still better than none, great trip overall! The captain and crew mate did a great job, kept things fun… we’ll be doing it again soon

The charter operator canceled 1 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.
Was a rough day overall since it was right after the full moon (11 people fishing and only a handful of keepers), and water was rough so about 1/3rd of the boat got sick, but I had a ball. Caught a dozen or more fish across five species. At one point every rod on the boat hit simultaneously on flathead. Captain had a great attitude and his mate was a workhorse the entire trip.
Thanks so much for the fantastic review! 🎣🐋 It sounds like you had an action-packed afternoon with us! It was great having you all on board, and we’re stoked you got to experience such a variety of fish — snapper, trevally, Sergeant Baker, flathead and even a shark! Then to top it all off with a breaching whale and dolphins was pretty special. 🐬🐋 We love making our trips enjoyable for the whole family, so it’s fantastic to hear the kids had a great time too. Thanks again for choosing Sydney Charter Fishing, and we hope to see you all back on board for another adventure! 🎣 — Captain Adam
This was my first time on a fishing charter and it was a wonderful experience. The captain and crew were very helpful and knowledgeable about this trip. It was fun despite some dreary weather and we caught many fish.
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.
Thank you for your kind review Usher ! We’re very happy to hear you felt welcomed by the captain and well looked after by the crew. It’s great to know you enjoyed the scenery and had a successful day fishing, with everyone catching fish. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to see you on board again soon.
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!
