Megan Warrener5.0VerifiedNewFantastic Fishing Charter, Highly Recommend!
4.5 Hr Half Day Shared Trip 7pp max on November 1, 2026 • 4 adultsWhat an absolutely fantastic experience! Everyone had an incredible day out on the water, bringing home 30 beautiful fish, all filleted and ready to enjoy, with another 20 or so fish caught and released back into the ocean! The captain and deckhand were extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional, making the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. An amazing day on the water, plenty of fish and some wonderful memories made! We would absolutely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great fishing experience in Airlie Beach. We'll definitely be back again!
