We just always enjoy our trips with this mob.
If you get a chance while in Broome, head out with AOC, they really are THE BEST.
The crew were very helpful and friendly baiting up hooks constantly, helping pull the fish in if needed and always keeping the boat clean.
Served up morning tea and lunch, and a great selection of drinks available.
Definitely the go to charter in Broome 👌
We also saw a poisonous water snake. Another highlight was the glorious sunset on our return journey.
Overall we enjoyed the tour, delicious snacks and professional service from a friendly team.
Great communication.
Transfer bus on time
Dingy to the boat was safe and easy
Was a really choppy day but felt safe and informed
Amazing info on the whales!
We saw loads of whales and got so close to all few of them which was incredible.
Staff all lovely and welcoming but felt sorry for the girl who had to try and serve food whilst it was so choppy!! She done amazing not to drop anything!
Thank you all for an amazing day I had the best birthday 🐋
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
PS Mick ‘Go Hawks’
Got picked up at our accommodation. Highly recommend her & her company.
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..
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.
Lovely staff but not as relaxing as one would expect.
Great scenery
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.
Our driver Georgia clearly loves her job, knowledgeable and friendly!
I then booked a fishing charter and got a discount for multiple tours. Will definitely use them when we come back next year.
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!
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
Highly recommended.
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.
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!
Despite an incorrect weather forecast, we still caught some good fish.
Thankyou from us all
Plus the wonderful colours of the Broome shore and ocean, it was stunning.
10/10.
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.
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!
Crew were great and we were so happy to see the Snubfin dolphins. Highly recommended
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.
Our group caught plenty of Spanish Mac, Red Emperor, Spangled and more.
Highly recommended.
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!!
Cheers guys
