Half Day Trip – Private

What can I say that best describes our fishing trip with the guys from ‘Airlie Beach Fishing Adventures’…sensational!! My wife, 16yr old daughter, 7yr old autistic son and I book the boat so it was just for us and the guys were amazing with our son, they put us straight onto hook up after hook up. My kids caught their first fish that put a bend on the rod. The boat is fast, comfortable and well maintained, has a full roof to help keep the sun off you, but For me those guys were the highlight... More

Communication with Jim was super easy. He was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and also helpful, patient and kind to myself and parents who were fishing for the first time. We caught some amazing variety of fish both large and small and were given recommendations on how to cook it. He also filleted and bagged everything up for us. The whole charter was smooth sailing start to finish. Overall just had an awesome day, catch and feed. Will defs book Jim and his charter tour... More

Our family had a great day out on the water. Even though the weather was not on our side, captain Jim made it comfortable and enjoyable and put us on the fish. Everything was catered for, communication was clear and timely and the guys were knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. We managed to take some fish home which was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this trip for families.

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!
