Cannot recommend this service. We chartered in early October a shared boat and were very disappointed. My husband and i are experienced anglers and hoped to catch reef fish. But one would have to go to the reef to do so. Our captain never got more than 100 meters from shore and I was the only one to catch a fish that was legal. 6 anglers - one keeper. He only moved 3 times and we fished with hand lines. He seemed more concerned with his afternoon off and his brew than business at hand. Very disappointed.

What a shame your experience was not up to your expectations - this is a small boat and usually only provides in shore reef or estuary fishing for half a day (usually with good results). A larger boat such as Dragon Lady www.dragonlady.com.au would have been a better option. They take 8 anglers further afield for a full day however it is double the price.
