The light tackle bluewater sportfishing off Cairns along the Great Barrier Reef is generally excellent year round, offering great action coupled with good eating!!

Well before Cairns was acknowledged and placed on the International fishing map as "Home to the Giant Black Marlin" more than 3 decades ago, it was recognised as a fishing mecca for a huge variety of pelagic sportfish.

Exclusively charter an experienced, fully crewed game boat (6-10 anglers) or join a shared charter (where we marry you up with other anglers) for a full day targeting exciting bluewater pelagics that include Spanish Mackerel, Northern Bluefin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna and Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Giant Trevally, Pacific Sailfish and Juvenile Black Marlin.

Extended "liveaboard charters" along with "mothership combined charters" can also be arranged.

The winter months (May to September) are best for targeting Spanish Mackerel (King Mackerel) and Juvenile Black Marlin (up to 100lbs). The warmer months (October to March) provide good fishing for Wahoo, Big Spanish Mackerel (up to 100lbs), Sailfish and Black Marlin (100 to 250lbs).

Cairns is a fishing destination renowned for its world record capabilities and the past few seasons have been no exception with top captains and crews ensuring the best possible world class light tackle action.
