Captain Bobby's extensive knowledge of the waters and fishing techniques is truly impressive. We caught plenty of fish, making for an unforgettable day on the water.
If you're looking for a top-notch fishing charter experience, I highly recommend Aquilla Fishing Charters. You won't be disappointed!
Finished the day with a tasty sausage sizzle and a cuppa. What more could a girl ask for ? 😆
Happy fisher xxx
Highly recommended and good fun
Thanks alot guys, will be back again soon.
The crew were patient if we snagged or tangled the lines and cleaned everything up for us.
Highly recommend anyone wanting a deep sea fishing experience to book with Aquilla.
Special thanks to crew people, skipper Paul and Jye. Made my first fishing experience in Australia an incredible one. Very friendly and very helpful... took us to the right fishing spots. Highly recommended!!
Eating fish for the next two weeks.
Looked after by the crew and decky to much appreciated.
To my shock and disbelief, the crew did not offer any medical assistance or support despite my condition. Instead, they took me back to the wharf and simply woke me up and kicked me off the boat without any further concern for my well-being.
This experience was not only traumatic but also extremely dangerous. It is unacceptable for any charter company to neglect the safety and health of their customers in such a manner. I would strongly advise anyone against using their services in the future."
We got so much fish that we ended up releasing fish we had caught too many of. By the end we had probably 40-50kg between the 10 of us!
Dolphins followed the boat on the way back. Highly recommended and couldn’t have better!
The boat is well set up with great equipment and comfortable to travel on. Will definitely be back again
Me hubby and our tween daughter all had a great time.
They were really great with helping my daughter and I (we had no idea what we were doing lol). Friendly professional crew and comfortable boat and everything was provided. Some really big beautiful catches were brought in (just not by me lol). Bob knows all the good spots and was on the ball the whole time helping, chatting, teaching and making the day enjoyable for everyone onboard.
Awesome deckhand guy (I forget his name sorry) gutted and cleaned everyone's catches and was ready to help out with whatever we needed help with (me the baiting part).
Perfect trip for anyone, from kids right up to experienced fishermen.
I can recommend this as a day trip for everyone. AA+++
Thanks for a really great time guys!!
So its simple! From the experienced angler to the complete novice, if you want to catch fish and have a great time doing it, book with Aquilla, you'll be so glad you did.
