With more than 30 years of experience on the water, both from a recreational & commercial perspective, I understand the importance of safety & comfort for my guests while enjoying the beautiful Whitsundays. With over 1000 hours clocked up in recent years around the reefs and Islands, I offer the opportunity to target an array of species in and around the islands and fringing reefs of the Whitsundays.

Australia•Member since 2024•4 trips5.0VerifiedFantastic day out!
4 Hour Fishing Trip • 4 adultsWe had an amazing day out with Captain Murray. He was very knowledgeable and gave great advice. The boat and the gear was A1, we caught a few and would definitely book with Catch My Drift again if we return to Airlie Beach. it was definitely the best fishing charter we’ve been on so far. It was an amazing experience and definitely worth it, if you’re looking for a great charter this is the one to go on. Thanks very much Captain Murray!
Response from CaptainHi Mel Thanks for you great review and your persistence with the fishing in very trying conditions. Hope to see you again one day!
Clint HarrisAustralia•Member since 20255.0VerifiedAn Unforgettable Day on the Water!!
8 hour Fishing (includes lunch) • 2 adultsWe booked an 8-hour charter with Captain Murray and the day could not have been better. We are keen fishos who wanted to make the most of our time on the water, and Murray understood that perfectly. He put us onto quality fish the entire trip and we fished every second we could. We landed well over 40 fish including Red Emperor, Coral Trout, Sweetlip, and plenty of exciting by-catches to keep things interesting. Murray delivered great banter, expert guidance, and an awesome lunch as well. His support, knowledge, and passion for what he does really showed throughout the day. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thanks mate, what a memorable day! 🎣🙌

8 hour Fishing (includes lunch) • 3 adultsCapt. Murray is an experienced and passionate Skipper / Angler. His patience and guidance for Non anglers was outstanding. His bespoke vessel is extremely well equipped and kept in a tip-top condition. All the fishing tackle was pre rigged ready to target the ever changing conditions and the diverse fish species Lunch and snacks were provided and all were freshly prepared and very tasty. In summary, all 3 Family members had a fantastic day, a real memory maker.

8 Hour Trip — Fishing & Whitehaven • 2 adultsCaptain Murray Story will make sure you catch fish. He puts in the extra work and isn’t content to just sit and wait for a spot to “turn on.” His boat and gear are in great shape. He can handle experienced or novice anglers with care and professionalism.
Reported catch:Response from CaptainHi Vincent Thank you for a wonderful review! Was sensational to get to know you and thank you for putting in a huge effort on a blustery day. You landed some great fish even in trying conditions to make the most of your day. Hope to see you again one day.

What's biting with Catch My Drift Charters in Airlie Beach
Days are warm, and spring begins. Black Marlin arrive, so look for an offshore charter. If you like trolling, go after Macks, Wahoo, and GTs. Fishing around the reefs is equally rewarding.
