Discovery Fishing Charters
Join Discovery Fishing Charters and see why the Gold Coast is home to some of the best fishing in Australia!
Owner Michael Attwood works with a lovely crew who work hard to provide you with the best possible experience and lovely memories. This crew knows every spot worth fishing in the local waters around the Gold Coast.
You will fish aboard the Discovery, which is a 30’ Shark Catamaran boat with a capacity of 10 anglers. It is powered by two 250 HP Honda engines, so it’ll get you where you need to be in a matter of minutes. The boat has all the amenities you’ll need, including a toilet and an anchoring system for when you find that perfect spot full of fish waiting to bite.
All the fishing gear will be ready for you on board, including rods and reels, as well as live bait, so you can get straight to fishing! After the trip, if you want to have a taste of your hard work, the crew will be happy to clean and bag your catch for you to take to the table.
These waters are as abundant as they are beautiful, so there’s always a variety of species to target. You’ll be fishing for Pink Snapper, Kingfish, Tuna, Snoek, Mahi Mahi, Jewfish, Spanish Mackerel, and even Marlin.
Kids are welcome on board, so feel free to take your family on an exciting fishing adventure in these turquoise waters! You’ll have water and lights snacks served on board.
All you need to do now is pack and join Discovery Fishing Charters for your slice of fishing heaven in the deep Australian waters!

Great day out
Captain and deckhand were very helpful, my sons first time on a boat and he loved it. They even helped him reel a couple fish in.

Had an amazing time on this fishing tour! The crew was friendly, well-organised, and made the whole experience fun and relaxing. We were lucky enough to catch several tuna, which made the day even more exciting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great day out on the water.

What a day on the water!
What a day with Discovery fishing charters! Todd (skipper) and Morgan (deckie) were spot and gave all on board a welcoming and happy experience, working hard to get everyone involved a fish. The biggest fish was beautiful Cobia that went 23kg! I definitely rerecommend this company if you are thinking about doing a charter. David S.
