Fishing Gear

Due to rising costs and maintaining our level of quality we have needed to bring in a system of Rod and Reel hire.

On extended trips, that will be a $20.00 a day surcharge to cover purchasing new gear and maintenance of the old.

Our guests of course are very welcome to bring their own gear.

For Reef fishing we have quality glass rods and Shimano Spheros in spin reels and TLD 20 in Overheads.

Our Crew

"We are proud to employ some of North Queensland's best Game and Reef fishing captains and crew."

Bob Wallenburg, Laurence Buckley and Steve Croucher are our captains and along with their experienced crew can ensure that if the fish are biting you will be there amongst it.

Catering

All our trips are catered with the highest quality meals prepared by on board chefs and cooks. Their experience ensures that you will only be dining on the best.

**Please let us know if you have any special dietary requests.

Liveaboard Pricing

Prices are dependent on multiple factors, some of which being group size, whether exclusive use or shared use are required and also on what day you may require your trip. The whole boat booking can also be worked on a pro-rata system for passenger numbers between the guidelines. All individual bookings include insurance. This insurance can only be obtained if a booking is fully paid for 2 weeks before trip departure. If a trip is inside this time frame a free rebooking is offered. Unfortunately we cannot offer this to corporate groups so we offer a free rebooking service for these clients. Corporate groups will receive a discount please enquire. We also offer Defence discount.
