Black Marlin / Exclusive Reef / Game Fishing Charters - Cairns, Cooktown, Lizard Island, Australia

Heavy tackle

During the annual spawning aggregation, Australia’s hotspot among the Barrier Reef plays home to huge schools of Black Marlin. Weighing up to 1000 pounds, these beauties meet their smaller partners during the breeding season, creating amazing opportunities for those looking to make a big catch.

As a heavy tackle specialist, our Marlin fishing charters are the ultimate way to reap some of the best experiences of the season – all backed by our professional, supportive team. We also use Circle Hooks to ensure anglers are given a challenging fight but can release the fish unharmed afterwards.

Light tackle game

In the months of July through to September, we head out on our game fishing charters for the annual adventure of Juvenile Black Marlin. Witness astonishing schools from around the shores as the marlin congregate for the season. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to haul in a tuna, sailfish, Spanish mackerel or another resident species.

Reef fishing

We’re lucky to have charters situated in the incredible Great Barrier Reef. Take your rod for a spin and see some of the most jaw-dropping species take up your line, in an adventure you won’t forget. Quality rods and bait are also available, as part of this package.

Day trips to the Great Barrier Reef

Beyond the sport itself, we also offer our visitors the chance to beat the crowds and enjoy an amazing day out on the Reef. With small groups only, we give you the opportunity to get up close and personal with stunning species from around the hotspot, as well as a guided snorkelling tour. Top it all off with lunch and light refreshments and we’ve got you sorted.
