Even though fishing in winter promised to be more challenging than in summer, we were not disappointed with this trip.

Excellent service and great crew from start to finish. Our family had a wonderful time - we will be hearing the story of the one that got away for years to come and still got to enjoy a delicious fish dinner - thank you!

Would reccomend this charter to anyone . Skipper Trent and deckie Max were both excellent for helping out baiting hooks, catching fish and passing them on and got my partner onto the biggest snapper I’ve ever seen !!
