Our all-inclusive Full Day Shared Reef Charter is an awesome day out on the beautiful waters of the Great Barrier Reef chasing some of our iconic reef species such as Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Large Mouth Nannygai and Spanish Mackerel (to name a few!).

Shared charters are a great option to get out to the reef without worrying about getting a large group together. You will share this trip with people from all walks of life, from mums and dads to young kids, mad-keen fisherman and inquisitive tourists. It’s a great day out on the reef!

We are a deep sea fishing charter, and usually fish at 25-50 metres depth anywhere in a 50km radius from Cairns. Be warned, we expect you to land fish up to 10kg or bigger, so hang on!

Please note: Fuel levy included in our pricing.
