Good value for money, just a bit touristy

Half Day Trip (PM) – Shared2 adults

I enjoyed the session despite not catching any fish. Others did, just luck of the draw when you have 7 or 8 lines out, a foot apart. I'd recommend it for people who haven't fished much before and are looking for more of a group/tourist level experience.

Response from Captain

Hey Travis Thanks for taking the time to write, but your disparaging remarks are out of line. You say 7 or 8. Why not just say 7, as that was the number. Surely you could count. It’s a shared charter during school holidays when it’s busy. You knew the max number is 8 before you booked. If you want more room and less anglers, why not just charter the boat to yourself. It’s like complaining on a flight because you don’t have a whole row to yourself. You said you were an experienced angler. Hopefully your expectations will be met next time.

    Fantastic fishing experience

    Half Day Trip (PM) – Shared • 6 adults

    Booked the afternoon session with 6 friends, our captain Byrne ( not sure of spelling) was a great host, funny, helpful, knew the area, had some great stories, and had some feathered friends who knew his vessel which added to the experience, caught a few small fish and some that took out lines that put up a huge fight (must have been huge!!) esky with ice onboard because what’s fishing without beer right!!

    Great fishing experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Shared • 2 adults

    We had an amazing half-day fishing trip in Cairns! Bernd was fantastic, the boat was clean and comfortable, and we caught some great fish including cod, fingermark, and a queenfish. Everything was well-organized from start to finish, and we will definitely book again when we are back in Cairns! Thank you

    Fun fishing in Cairns

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Shared • 1 adult

    Great to be fishing in sheltered waters while still having a chance to catch some good fish. The skipper worked hard to ensure everyone had the best chance for a catch. I ended up with a good size Queenfish as well as a GT. A really good day and great value.
