Went on a 3 day 3 night trip with Australian Black Marlin charters. Wife and I boarded the Lelly B with captain Brad craft and mates Matt   And Lachie. We left out of Cooktown. The crew worked in harmony! A joy to watch. Caught tuna and a 900 lb black marlin first day. That took off all pressure! We reef fished in th mornings or snorkeled and spearfished. Caught lots of varieties. Food preparations were awesome!! Thank you Matty! Would troll in the afternoons and hooked up with some blues and... More

Was a great trip. The crew was great worked very hard for us. Food was great Captain and crew did lots of preparation so we get that Marlin. I would definitely do this again. At night we stayed behind the reef they baited our poles was catching fish at the reef one right after the other!

Experienced marlin fishing in many parts of the world and yet Cairns is still top of the list. Captain Brad Craft and his professional crews are no doubt top notch. Begin at 8:00am from Yorkeys and started trolling for marlin baits at 10:00am. Got few beautiful mackerel and tuna and started marling fishing at 12:30(after lunch). 1st marlin caught at 1:30pm and 2nd at 16:00pm.  

The charter operator canceled 141 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.

Absolutely an outstanding trip. Great boat, captain and crew. Did everything they could to make it a great experience. Caught two smaller Black Marlin
