The guide and the captain is very nice and familiar with seas and fishes!
It was such a fantastic family afternoon out on the water, cruising around Surfers Paradise and stopping at Wave Break Island for a swim and snorkel. The scenery was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the kids absolutely loved every minute.
The crew really made the experience special — nothing was too much trouble, and their local knowledge added so much to the trip. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable day out on the Gold Coast, we can’t recommend Beachcomber Charters highly enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well worth the money. You will have someone there to bait your hook, take the fish off and clean it up ready for cooking. There's a toilet and snacks and drinks to keep you going.
We will be back, thanks for having us!
Great hosts and communication leading up to it
The extra detours to see the pelicans and other birds was great!
Thanks for being such great hosts!
A couple of keepers and I think 12 different species makes for a great day. Thanks team.
Thoroughly recommend as a must do on the Gold Coast.
Although the weather was rainy, I would like to thank the crew for making it so enjoyable.
I want to go again.
From the little ones to the grandparents, our entire family had an absolute blast. Can't wait to make this a yearly tradition! 🚤🎄 Thanks, Beachcomber Charters, for a memorable evening! 👏

I booked the whole boat for a half day fishing charter for my bucks party. The whole process was smooth and I found communication very easy over the phone with Amanda. I was super stressed due to torrential rain forecast for the entire day and we waited until the morning of the charter to make a final decision about the weather. The sky-gods answered my prayers, as I woke up and there was not a drop of rain for the whole day.
We had a full boat of keen fishermen ready for a day of fun on the water. Andreas and Cooper were super knowledgeable about the local hot spots and we caught a tonne of fish. Lots of booze was consumed and we had plenty of food to keep us all happy. As we had the boat to ourselves, we decided to do some swimming to finish off the day whilst keeping some lines in the water.
Every aspect of the day was fantastic and I was super chuffed with the high level of service provided by the team. I was also pleasantly surprised with how affordable the price was when split amongst our group. Thank you so much the fantastic experience! I will definitely be keeping you in mind for future celebrations :)
