Half day trip with captain Charles

Very pleased with Captain Charles and deckhand Georgie, they managed to get us on to a nice fish and accomodated us all very nicely. Crusoe charters were very accomodating with the circumstances. Due to the weather conditions, there was a possibly that we wouldn’t be able to go fishing. Captain Charles moved the fishing vessel to the other side of the island, out of the wind and bad conditions, so we could go fishing! They also organised a bus to and from where the fishing vessel was... More

Michelle and her decky were great. Good gear, good boat and good food. The fishing was a bit frustrating with a lot of sharks hanging around the fad we were fishing. Hooked 4 good yellow fin and only managed to land one due to the sharks. Did start trolling away from the fad to avoid the sharks but with no luck. Landed a big shark as well. Overall disappointed we didn’t catch more fish but it could have been a really good day if the tax man wasn’t hanging around. Can’t fault the efforts... More

Had a half day out with Captain Charles and his local crew. The crew kept us entertained with changing tackle and lures in a professional manner. We caught mai mai went trolling for sailfish and marlin but no luck there my husband and 16 and 17 yo boys loved it and I did to in the end but I am a fair weather fisherman and once I got used being in the swell which apparently was fairly sloppy that day I didn’t mind too much and it was great to see the kids catch a big fish.
