Rathlin Charters are giving you the chance to come and catch that fish you have always wanted to catch.

Fishing aboard a 41ft Steber that is powered by twin caterpillar engines, you will get you to the fishing grounds in good time so you have hours to spare to catch the fish you are after. The boat features a toilet, galley, and a spacious lounge. The attentive crew are there to tailor for your every need and get that fish of a lifetime.

If you want to catch a Black, Blue, or Striped Marlin, Ratlin charters will give you the opportunity to do so from January until May. Take a game fishing charter at this time of year, and you will always have a chance to pick up a Dolphinfish or Mako Shark at the same time.

Wintertime fishing is no less exciting, with the chance of catching large Bluefin Tuna from the end of June till the end of August.

If that wasn’t enough, reef fishing is great all year round. The natural reefs that lie within easy reach of Merimbula are amazing fishing grounds for colourful and delicious species such as Snapper, Morwong, Flathead, Gummy Shark, and a few other species that frequent the reefs.

About the Captain

I used to work as a commercial fisherman and would fish recreationally whenever I had some time off. So it made sense to start charter fishing. Now I operate Rathlin, one of the most well-established boats in Merimbula. I still have a great passion for fishing and will never stop looking for fish for customers.I pride myself on giving customers the best there is to offer on the south coast

Half Day Shared Charter - Reef for 1 guest

I would happily give Rathlin Charters 10 out of 10. My morning on board has been the highlight of my trip to Merimbula. Craig was continually looking for fish for us to catch and succeeded. We all came home with enough for 2 feeds after returning a lot back to fight another day. If you have the chance let Rathlin Charters show you what Merimbula has to offer.

I simply cannot recommend this Charter enough. The crew were amazing and helped out every individual as needed and offered advice as to what we were doing wrong. Simply an amazing experience. The best charter I have been on.

Elly Simpson Had a great day out. My husband, Peter, was the main one who wanted to go fishing as I dont do it. But I had a go and caught lots of fish and had fun. My grand daughter did well too and caught 2 fish on one line. Craig, the captain, and Zed were very helpful and friendly. Especially as the younger kids were sick and had to go back to shore and then he took us back out to keep fishing. They knew what they were doing. Thanks guys.
