Matt made a tough day in to a great one
5/5
We had a great morning on matts charter regardless of poor weather and fishing conditions. Unfortunately due too wind and a cold snap it wasnt a great day to fish, but that didn't stop Matt from giving us a great day fishing. Great yarns, he was very educational to the guys that hadn't fished alot before and we even pulled up a few small fish regardless of the poor conditions. 100% will be booking again

Great Experience
5/5
My recent fishing trip in Cairns was fantastic, largely thanks to the captain's exceptional experience. Not only did they navigate us to productive spots, but I also genuinely learned valuable new techniques and insights about fishing, making it a truly rewarding and educational experience on the water.

Jacob knows the area really well… Not just the fishing spots, but the croc sites, the local birdlife and animals, other boats, Cairns life and stories. A great half-day out for us.
