Best day fishing I’ve ever had.
5/5
Jim was fantastic, got us on the spots fast and efficiently. Lots of variety and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied.
Will miss certainly be hopping back on when I’m back in Airlie.
I can confidently say this is the best day fishing I’ve ever had. Even managed to pull a 67cm coral trout.
So appreciative, many thanks Jim!

Great overall experience
5/5
I would absolutely recommend this charter. Our family had a wonderful time and could not have hoped for more. The boat and equipment were well maintained and clean. Our skipper was very engaging with helpful tips for inexperienced and advanced fishermen. He also had lots of interesting information on the area. We caught a 10lb coral trout which Eastwood restaurant prepared exquisitely well.

Great day out!
5/5
We were in Port Douglas for a family function, managed to sneak away for a boys outing and very glad we booked with Hook Up Fishing Charters. Not an experienced group but the captain was very helpful, great boat and knowledge. Even with our lack of experience, all had an awesome day and we managed to go home with a beautiful feed (including a few coral trout). Thanks and will definitely reach out again next time we’re up here!
