Fun family fishing day A great day for our family (teenaged kids) of five on the water. Catching stripe perch, coral trout, red emperor, bluebone and mackerel.
Staff were fantastic, boat was very comfortable and kept very clean throughout the day whilst fishing.
Lovely fresh lunch provided.
Thankyou for a great experience

Broome day tour Kelly did a fantastic tour. We learnt so much about Broome, both current information & history.
Got picked up at our accommodation. Highly recommend her & her company.

Informative & Interesting An interesting & informative couple of hours.
We learnt lots about Broome history that we’d never imagined.
Well done Absolute Ocean Charters, your office staff were friendly & efficient and the driver guide was well informed and kept us all interested with local facts while showing us the many different sights..

Professional and Informative Great tour and commentary to see the “snubbies” and see them we did!
Very professionally done and canapés and drinks (at very reasonable prices) were served whilst soaking in the beautiful scenery. Highly recommend for all ages. Thank you skipper Michael and his great team.

Interesting cruise Interesting tour. Could be a challenge for those with mobility issues. Tour starts walking in the water to the runabout then climbing onto the main boat and ends walking through the water from the runabout to the bus parked on Cable Beach just after sunset. Hard to see at that time.
Lovely staff but not as relaxing as one would expect.
Great scenery

What an absolutely amazing experience!
Mike, Jimmy and Ryan have been amazing. From the moment they picked us up to the moment they dropped us off, it was a blast. Plenty of fishes, laught and memories of a life time.
I d like to mention the lady helping me to book the charter was very helpful and easy going! Loved it.
If you are in Broome and looking for a trip to remember... Book with them, they'll deliver.

What an amazing experience An amazing experience. Spotted lots of snubfin dolphins, boobies and terns. Dolphins and birds were diving for fish. Our dietary needs were catered for. Team was friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommend this tour.

Broome in a nutshell Picked me up from my accommodation, as l didn’t have a car. So very helpful.
Our driver Georgia clearly loves her job, knowledgeable and friendly!

These guys are fantastic. We did the sunset whale watching cruise and it was great fun and very informative. Delicious snacks and very helpful staff.
I then booked a fishing charter and got a discount for multiple tours. Will definitely use them when we come back next year.

Mesmerizing experience 🐳 We were surrounded by whales today showing us there unusual behaviors which were explained to us by a very knowledgeable Georgie and chatting with her it was obvious she knew her stuff. Phoebe also was very approachable and obviously loved her job. Snacks were awesome and well received. Thank-you girls you made our tour which was very organized. Fantastic experience 💙🐳💙

Sunset whale watching What a great sunset whale watching experience. The friendly crew were fantastic at finding many whales - and the odd turtle and dolphin. Had great knowledge and also lovely snacks and a soft drink. Well planned and professional.

Great day. Bloody brilliant. Great day. Haven't got a clue about fishing but crew were great, helpful , and friendly and I caught 3 nice fish including a big Spanish Mackerel. Big bag of fish fillets to take hope. Very happy.

Amazing whale watching trip Fantastic tour - Phoebe, Georgie, Chris and Robin were an excellent crew and looked after us superbly well.
Incredible close encounters with high numbers of humpback whales. Interesting commentary, tasty nibbles, and a massive coolbox to store our BYO frosty beers. Couldn't really have asked for a better day out..! To top it off, we were steaming back watching the sunset when a whale fully breached over the horizon the icing on the cake!

Thanks so much!

AOC’s Sunset Dolphin Cruise was truly incredible. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and handed out great canapés and drinks, all included in the trip. We saw lots of whales and the sunset on the return was very memorable. Would definitely recommend!

Had a great day with the crew filled our freezer full of fish, GT, Spanish mackerel, coral trout, Tuna, snapper good crew , good lunch drinks and awesome experience

fantastic sunset snubfin dolphins cruise. was so amazing to see so many dolphins and other sea animals tonight. Phoebe made us feel so welcome from the moment she picked us up. Her knowledge is great and was able to tell us so much about these beautiful creatures. the kids were made to feel welcome and the food was yummy. Miss 2yo particularly loved the bruscetta! thanks for such an awesome evening! definitely recommend!

Had a fantastic full day reef tour with AOC. The team onboard were great and it was lots of fun.
We found the service was impeccable from the staff in the office to help accommodate with any requests. Nothing was too hard at all.
Thanks for having us aboard

Great fishing trip My 14 year old son and I went on the half day fishing trip. Boat was great, staff were great and we caught some good fish on the trip. The deckhands were great with the kids, helping them reel in fish and with bait. All round a great trip.

Good day on the water Would defintely recommend this tour operator. The team were friendly very helpful and had a lovely experience with the family on the water. Pity we didn't see too many dolphins but can't predict the currents and had a 50 metre restriction.

Amazing fishing experience. Had an amazing experience with AOC. We only did the half day but we saw whales on the way out and then caught amazing fish (which they were nice enough to package so we could take it back to Perth). Between the two of us we caught about 8 fish including an amazing coral trout. The crew were attentive and the vessel was great.

Highly recommended.

Best fishing charter in Oz Our family of three embarked on this charter from Broome as part of our holiday. It did not disappoint. Amazing crew, great catering and best of all -we nailed the fishing!!!!!!!! Took home a huge haul and we're still eating it!!!! I can highly recommend.

Still the best After more than a decade as others have come and gone AOC still does it best.
A great well equipped boat and a very helpful and friendly crew that work hard to get you onto the fish.
I returned to our accomodation with a bag full of snapper/ emperor/ Spanish flag fillets that meant we could eat truly fresh fish for the rest of our stay - again!
Add in a few breaching whales and a couple of cool drinks and it is a wonderful day out.

Great experience What a wonderful experience seeing the Humpback Whales in their environment with a number of mother and calf sightings as well. Awesome

Started off with a 0715 pick up from our accommodation, then at the ramp by 0800. We for onto the water rather quickly after a lovely safety demonstration.

The skipper was full of wisdom in regards to the local waterways and conservation of local marine life, which was easy to be heard by multiple speakers throughout the boat. We were lucky enough to see just under a dozen dolphins, a couple of sea snakes, flat back turtles, a few swimmer crabs, and a beautiful 3m mantaray. Honestly, it's worth doing; I would say if you are short on time but want to see the beautiful local sea fauna, as someone who's done a fair few tours in Broome, this would be one of my top recommendations.

Boom net was great fun, FYI that kids must be accompanied by a guardian whilst in the net; so parents bring your swimmers!

The staff were amazing, super lovely taking photos for families and couples of their little adventure. Plenty of food provided with a bar available, even catering to vegetarian/dietary restricted guests without prior notice of the cruise. There is plenty of shaded area and seating both on the upper & lower deck. The toilet was clean, easy to use, and well ventilated with prompting for those not used to boat loo's. I did notice that a few individuals with dexterity/strength issues struggled with the boat transfers and boom net access, but that is a given when in the ocean. There are plenty of handrails for those who need it.

Thankyou team for the lovely conversations and hospitality. My partner and I truly had a divine time!

Wonderful experience Great afternoon. Great interesting commentary. Food delicious. Puck service prompt. Free soft drinks

Experience not to be missed! Had an amazing day out fishing on Absolute Ocean Charters! The captain Mick and both deck hands Matt & Tom were all great at putting us on the fish and giving everyone a chance to hook a big one! Thanks guys for a fun day!!

Great Day Fishing Great day of fishing, well organised, experienced deckies (Gil and Jim)
Despite an incorrect weather forecast, we still caught some good fish.

Excellent cruise, don't miss it We had a wonderful afternoon with a fantastic crew. Well catered, Amy gave informative talk on the whales and the captain made sure we didn't miss out. The team really gave us an excellent experience with the sunset cruise.
Thankyou from us all

Best whales ever :) The sunset whale watching tour was insanely good on this particular day. Several whales breaching, including a very active calf, informative commentary by the team.
Plus the wonderful colours of the Broome shore and ocean, it was stunning.
10/10.

A moving and unforgettable experience The experience was really well organise, with punctual pick-up, seemless transport to the boat, and information about how the afternoon was going to unfold.
The on-board marine biologist was very informative, used, easy to understand language, and seemed very passionate about what she was doing. We were privileged to see a Humpback with a newborn calf, and it was so good to be able to understand the behaviour thanks to Amy's explanations. It was very moving.
The catering was lovely and the sunset as we headed back was a bonus.
At the end of the day, drop off was flexible and easy, very much appreciated.

Hubby and i thoroughly enjoyed our day fishing on Absolute Charters. I caught my first ever spanish mackerel, and a nice black snapper, along with a few other fish. The skipper and crew wer wonderful, and we had the most fantadtic day, thanks guys ????

The Sunset (Whale Watching) Cruise with Absolute Ocean Charters was the best I’ve been on and made our family holiday to Broome so memorable.

We loved hearing the marine biologist’s interesting talks, listening to the gentle giants sing their whale song via the hydraphone and see them splash and play about.

The crew were friendly, professional and welcoming.
We could move all around the boat, there was plenty of room.
The snacks were delicious and loved that we could byo drinks. We felt right at home.

We will remember this amazing family adventure for years to come!

Fantastic day and fantastic crew! Shout out to Jim, Matty and Gil, skippers Scotty and Mick! You guys went above and beyond! To the lovely ladies, Amy was so informative with her marine knowledge, Katie, Bianca and Kelly, are glue holding this amazing team together! I highly recommend this as a must do when visiting Broome, they do not disappoint! See you again soon ????????????

Amazing experience! We did the sunset dolphin cruise and it was fabulous.
Crew were great and we were so happy to see the Snubfin dolphins. Highly recommended

Brilliant ocean fishing experience My wife and I had a brilliant open water fishing experience with Absolute Ocean Charters (AOC). Boat was a good size and well powered to handle the fresh winds. Top notch crew with captain Scott, and Jim and Matt working the deck, making sure bait buckets were full, gave a hand whenever needed to pull in a fish/replace the lines - basically anything to maximize fishing time. AOC provided all equipment, plus morning tea, lunch and soft drinks. They also filleted our catch.

The experience also included trawl fishing where we caught a mackerel and tuna. This was divided among all the fishers. We changed fishing spots whenever sharks started hanging around as they’d just feed on any catches.

Admin team also very helpful. We called up the day before and they put my wife and I on the waiting list; they were able to accommodate us both when 1 spot became available. We took turns to use the 1 line, which worked well.

Tip: you could end up with a lot of fish afterwards, so this trip could be handy in providing meals for a few days afterwards. We feasted on sashimi and fresh grilled fish with a simple shop for garlic butter, soy sauce, wasabi, salad stuff and a good knife. Hot chips are easy to buy.

Will do this again next time we’re in Broome.

Highly professional operation and legendary crew who work tirelessly to get you on to fish and keep your tackle in the water catching them.

Our group caught plenty of Spanish Mac, Red Emperor, Spangled and more.

Highly recommended.

Absolute top time. Went in with literally no knowledge about fishing and came home with some amazing stories and kilograms of fish. Staff friendly and supportive and genuinely seemed to be having a great time really added to a great vibe. Happy to suggest this mob to anyone, even novices (i was with my sister in law even and she had a great time)

Fantastic Day! What a great experience from start to finish! Absolute Ocean Charters had thought of everything to make our day a memorable one. We caught a good selection of generous sized fish. Nothing was too much trouble. All our fish were cleaned and filleted for us. The staff were all wonderful and couldn’t do enough to help everyone one board. Lunch and drinks were included and were all spot on. One of the best charters we’ve been on and would highly recommend.

My friend and I did the sunset tour on Thursday 4th May. Absolutely fantastic afternoon and would love to do it again

100% recommend you book with AOC, we had a fantastic day on the water!!
Pick up form our accom was bang on time, quick to set off, fish were being caught at every location the skipper took us to, the boat was a great size with plenty of room to move about very clean, staff were super fast at baiting and replacing hooks, All staff we also very friendly and approachable, morning tea and lunch platters were fresh and plentiful, no one left without landing a fish or two, and personally we took home enough fish for several lunches and dinners.
Cracking value for money! We'll be back again for sure!
Thanks Guys!!

Great way to spend an afternoon Fantastic trip looking for snubfin dolphins. Crew were all fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. It was a lovely way to see Roebuck Bay and enjoy the sunset on the way home. Thank you

I took my fishing mad nephew on the 1 day reef fishing trip, from the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped back, the whole day was great. The skipper and crew worked so hard to ensure everyone on board had a wonderful experience. We all caught so many fish, some of them quite large! I couldn't recommend these guys more highly, they are a wonderful option when you're in Broome. Afterwards I promptly booked the Sunset Cruise for the rest of the family we all enjoyed that as well, having a marine biologist on board was such a great addition and we saw turtles and dolphins, as well as a history lesson on the region.They are a first class operator.

Best service experience in a long time Amazing trip, the crew were incredible and sea life spectacular. I would highly recommend this company

Great day out fishing. Caught a big variety of fish. Staff super helpful especially when snagged or tangled

We took 6 kids out on the charter and had the most satisfying day, they caught an abundance of variety of fish which we enjoyed eating for the following days, the crew was amazing helping everyone out but a big thanks to the skipper he was always getting us on the fish, would highly recommend and will definitely return.
Cheers guys

Great day out, very well planned and executed. Plenty of fish caught, although not many buy me. Never stayed on a reef too long and when the tax man took our fish you moved on quickly. Never caught my targeted Spanish Mackerel either but maybe next time when i bring my two sons back. Cheers AOC.

Absolute charters fishing Skipper and crew worked hard to find the fish , and were there to help , only negative was I thought it was overcrowded at times while fishing , but understand there running a business and need to make a profit , but overall it was a decent experience

100% recommend AoC to anyone thinking of going deep sea fishing. The service is professional and top notch and includes pickup/drop off from accommodation, putting you on the fish and cleaning/filleting your catches. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. The boat is spotless clean, very stable with toilet on board so ladies can go on this charter with comfort. I only went on the half day tour as I usually only last half a day before I get really seasick (even with pills) but this time I only burped a couple of time and even am able to enjoy the morning tea and delicious lunch provided. Free flow soft drinks are provided. In between line drops, the skipper did a little trolling which landed us 3 Mackerels and 1 Tuna which are shared among the passengers. Overall, fantastic trip! Next time when I am in Broome, I know exactly which charter I will be going fishing with.

Memorable experience! The booking & communications from AOC made this a very easy surprise gift for my husband. He had an absolute blast the entire day. Staff were friendly, helpful and they encouraged each member of the charter group in their skills and experience. Food was plentiful and having drinks etc included made this a fabulous Broome experience. We would highly recommend this to anyone. Thanks AOC - and keep up the passion & great work!

Best fishing charter in Broome. The best charter I have been on. The crew where amazing and couldn't be more helpful. I absolutely enjoyed the full day of fishing.

Variety of fish caught Had a great day out. Well looked after by crew. Liked the pick up from home and drop off. Great to have fish filleted ready for dinner. Caught a variety of fish

Ok Pick up on time
Staff great
Service good
Just a bit disappointed on the day spent too much time on the first sight
Missed a great view of wales as we had to go back
Overall 7 out 10

Whale watching and sunset cruise The tour was seamless: from hotel pick up & drop off, getting on the vessel, catering. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent activity for families. Toilet facilities on board- clean!!!
Watching the sun set after the whale watching is excellent.

Whale- watching: what’s not to love! Having a qualified marine biologist on board was terrific. Her knowledge and delivery were first class. We were lucky to see so many mums with their calves and were rewarded with a stunning fluke display as we were heading back to shore. Nibbles and drinks were a nice touch. Crew were great and we were very mindful of their care of an elderly gentleman in assisting him on and off the boat and the tender.

Spectacular Afternoon We saw 3 humpbacks and a calf, 2 whales breeching spectacularly dolphins seasnake and a turtle all the while being instructed by the wonderfully informative marine biologist Molly. Canapés were delicious

Every year we come to Broome. Every year we go out with Mick and the crew and every year their service and success in finding the fish is excellent. We thought we’d missed out this year as they were all booked out then a last minute cancellation opened a spot for us. Very very happy. Mick runs a tight, safe, fun and friendly boat. The best charter I’ve had anywhere. - Ben

Very enjoyable day out fishing. The boat is very clean and comfortable with plenty of shade. The friendly, helpful crew worked extremely hard keeping everyone supplied with bait, assisting with the catches and photos, filleting the catch and constantly cleaning the deck. Friendly smiles and banter included! Loved the amphibious "Duck" getting us from the beach to the mooring without getting our feet wet!

First hooked up with AOC in May 2021 on our 3 week trip to Broome. We had the best day out fishing and we do love our charters so booked again for November! Went out last week & heading out again tomorrow .... can't wait to see what we hook up ???????? Everything about AOC is top notch, the crew are professional, responsive & fun, we were moved around as needed to stay on the fish & everyone hooked up!! Everything about AOC from doorstep pickup & drop off to the food, the gear, the professionalism, the fun & the fish is second to none! We will be back next year, thanks AOC !!!
