Full Day – Reef Fishing (Shared)

Booked for a days fishing and communication prior to setting off excellent. Easy to find meeting place next to marina and pleasant introductions, discovering I was the only Brit on board and expecting some banter. Day started slowly for me but ‘local’ lads straight into fish with a variety of species being caught. Started to lose fish due to sharks targeting fish being wound in (large Coral Trout bitten off with just head retrieved) so we moved on a number of times throughout the day,... More

I was honestly SO excited the entire time — everything about this trip was amazing. The boat was super clean and in great condition, and I was really impressed by how the crew kept everything tidy throughout. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. And the fishing? 🐟 It was on fire! I caught plenty and had the best time doing it. I never felt rushed or lost — they explained everything so clearly. I’d absolutely recommend this to anyone... More

Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! We’re stoked to hear you had an absolute cracker of a day out on the reef. Plenty of Nannygai in the morning is always a great start — shame about that Red Emperor, but you’re right, the sharks do keep things interesting! We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the crew — they’ll love hearing you enjoyed both the fishing and the Aussie banter. Looking forward to welcoming you back onboard for round two!

I went on the charter as a present for my 14yr old son. The crew were very helpful and professional and attentive. We caught a few keepers and would definately recommend. The other passengers were a friendly bunch too which made it all the more enjoyable
