4 Hour & 8 Hour Fishing Trips & Family Fun!
4 Hour & 8 Hour Fishing Trips & Family Fun!
A1 Fishing Charters welcomes you to the sparkling azure waters of Airlie Beach, Queensland! With more than 70 islands scattered throughout the Whitsundays, anglers can choose from a variety of fish and fishing techniques. Troll for big game or bottom fish for colorful surprises!
We are the longest owned and operated charter in the Whitsundays, offering a variety of experiences all in one low cost! Fishing, snorkeling, Whitehaven Beach, free whale sightings. Family's welcome!
Family fun! Group fun!
Step aboard a 29’ Young Craft boat, built in 2000 and powered by twin 150 HP Mercury engines. The boat is ready when you are, equipped with a fishing license, rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. There’s even a toilet on board to maximize your comfort.
All you have to do now is choose your adventure! Try bottom fishing for Coral Trout and Emperor, or fishing the flats for Queenfish and Mackerel. If it’s the drama of a chase you love, enjoy trolling offshore for Giant Trevally's among others. You keep your catch, and Captain Olly will clean and fillet it for you.
Last but not least, bring your smile and a camera because you’re sure to make some memories!
All charters operate weather permitting. Fully refundable if your trip is cancelled because of the weather.

Great trip
We had a great time. We had 3 kids, youngest was 10 and everyone was great helping the kids. We all caught something. Even the kid that didn't really want to go said she had a lot of fun and loved it.

Great experience!
Our captain Ollie was a cool guy. Really helped out, knew where we needed to go and very helpful. Also the 80’s music during the trip let the fish bite. (-:
