Cairns Reef Fishing is the longest established reef fishing company in Cairns and the only charter in the area permitted to fish the local waters all year round. They are friendly and warm to every guest who comes aboard their boat and will make sure you will have an unforgettable fishing experience in the crystal clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

They have 3 boats: Aqua Cat, The Blue Whaler and Serranidae.

This magnificent boat has a GPS and a fishfinder with over 2000 fishing spots marked on their GPS system which are sure to deliver. The boat has a full-size toilet onboard which is essential when taking family trips with children. It also comes equipped with life jackets.

The Cairns Reef Fishing crew is so familiar with the fish species in the area, they will be able to educate you and help you catch some of the best specimens in the 25-mile radius of Cairns. The species caught are various Trevallies, Coral Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Nannygai and Barracudas among others. You will be provided with live bait and lures, rods, reels, and tackle, fishing licences, and best of all you have a buffet lunch of cold meats, bread rolls, salads and cold drinks. A filleting service is available for a small extra fee. A $10 fee per person of Environmental Management Charge (EMC) needs to be charged at the boat prior to departure.
