Cairns Reef Fishing is the longest-established reef fishing company in Cairns — and the only operator in the region permitted to fish the local waters all year round. With a reputation for warm hospitality and expert knowledge, the team ensures every guest enjoys an unforgettable day on the Great Barrier Reef.

** The Fleet
Cairns Reef Fishing operates three fully equipped vessels — Aqua Cat, The Blue Whaler, and Serranidae — all fitted with onboard toilets, life jackets, GPS systems, and fish finders with over 2,000 marked fishing spots. Whether you're bringing the kids, fishing with mates, or joining solo, you’ll be well looked after.

Please note: For all shared charters, we will nominate which vessel from our fleet will be used, based on scheduling and group size.

** Shared Full Day Reef Fishing Charters
Our all-inclusive Full Day Shared Reef Charter is an epic day out on the waters of the Great Barrier Reef, targeting iconic reef species such as Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Large Mouth Nannygai, and Spanish Mackerel.

This is a deep sea fishing experience, usually fishing at 30–60 metres depth within a 50km radius from Cairns. Expect to be landing fish up to 10kg or more — it’s the real deal!

Shared charters are a great way to explore the reef without needing to gather a large group. You’ll share the experience with a fun mix of fellow guests — from families and first-timers to seasoned anglers and adventure-seeking travellers.

** Inclusions **
Buffet-style lunch

~  Afternoon fruit & North Queensland prawn platter
~  Bottled water
~  All bait, tackle, rods, and reels
~  Esky and ice for your catch and BYO drinks (cans only)
~  Beers and soft drinks available for purchase onboard
~  Friendly skipper and experienced crew
~  Catch cleaned, iced, and bagged for you
~  Reef tax and fuel levy included

Let us take you on a true reef fishing adventure — one you won’t forget.
