Full Day Reef Fishing Share Charter
Duration:
Operated By:
A full-day reef fishing charter offers an incredible adventure on the stunning waters of the Great Barrier Reef, targeting iconic species such as Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Large Mouth Nannygai, and Spanish Mackerel.
Shared charters are a great option to get out to the reef without the hassle of organizing a large group. You’ll share this trip with people from all walks of life—from families with children (10 years+ is recommended) to avid fishermen and curious tourists. It’s a fantastic day out on the reef!
We will travel approximately 90 minutes to reach the fishing grounds, which are within a 50-kilometer radius of Cairns.
Lunch is served around midday, and after a fantastic day of fishing, we return to the marina between 3:30 and 4:00 pm.
Your catch will be cleaned, iced down, and bagged for you to take home or to your favorite restaurant for cooking. The all-inclusive price covers everything: food, fishing gear, and all reef taxes. We also provide bottled water for the day. Just bring a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a camera, and cash to purchase drinks, or feel free to bring your own drinks (no glass and mid strength).
