  Full day – Topwater Fishing on April 5, 2026 • 1 adult

  Conditions and fishing were not ideal. However Gavins vibe, personality, persistence to achieve the best experience for his client shined bright. I truly will remember this experience and hope to fish with Gavin again one day. He is a top notch guide. in the end we achieved the desired result wbd caught a few ifnout target species. i highly recommend him as your choice for a fishing guide

  Great fishing trip!

  Full Day Trip – Inshore&Reef on October 25, 2025 • 5 adults

  We had a great fishing trip and Captain Gavin was really helpful, attentive and even teaching us on how to hooked the fish better. He was also thoughtful to my friends who were having seasickness. He made sure everyone were able to catch fish and always asked what we wanted to do for the whole trip. Can't thank you enough for the experience and also accomodating my request to find a good fishing spot to place my late husband's ashes in the reef. Thank you and hope to see you next year.

  Great Barrier Reef-Great fishing!!

  Full Day Trip – Inshore&Reef on January 20, 2026 • 1 adult

  Right from the start Captain Galvin worked hard and it continued to the last minute. The quality and quantity of fish was excellent! We caught about 15 different beautiful species. Nannygai,gold band snapper and mother in law fish were huge and very hard fighting!! Stripeys, honeycomb cod, and tomato cod were some of my favorites and gougeous! It was the trip of a lifetime! Thank You Captain Gavin for the trip of a lifetime! See you again mate…

  Great day out

  Half day trip -estuary fishing (pm) on August 7, 2026 • 3 adults

  We really enjoyed our charter. Gavin is great, very knowledgeable and generous in sharing his tips and tricks. We didn't catch anything to take home, but had a great day out. Would highly recommend to anyone in FNQ.
