Fishing Adventure - Full Day

Experience Code: MVN691

Description

Experience the thrill of landing some of the finest eating and fighting fish during your full day fishing adventure. You will board the most technologically advanced vessel in Far North QLD, ensuring you spend more time fishing by taking you quickly and comfortably to the best fishing playgrounds!

Your exciting fishing adventure will sure to be one of comfort and luxury.

Walk on board and be greeted by our friendly crew, you can then relax in the air-conditioned saloon, take in a picture slideshow of the previous day’s catch on the widescreen TV, and enjoy the scenery from the upstairs sun lounges.

A safety brief and talk about the day’s activities will take place whilst cruising out of the beautiful harbour, before settling in for the journey to the reef.

Utilising both traditional methods and the latest in 3D navigation, sounder and bottom imaging equipment the best fishing grounds are found daily. Ensuring you are given the best possible opportunity to catch a fish!

Anchor down, engines off, a demonstration and the day’s activities commence. Using handlines or custom-made rods with overhead Penn reels species such as Coral Trout and Mackerel are targeted. Float lines are also used whenever possible to target the elusive Giant Trevally, Tuna and Wahoo.

You don’t need to be an experienced angler, we cater for the beginner to the advanced, and with three crew members on board you are assured of personal attention.

All this fishing can make you hungry, so we provide you with morning and afternoon tea, and a smorgasbord lunch. Drinks, snacks and souvenirs are also available for purchase throughout the day from the fully licensed bar.

Afternoon tea is served on the return journey and photos of you, and your catch will be displayed on the widescreen TV for all to see. You can even have your photos burnt to disc (additional cost - $15 per image) to take home with you so you can prove that you really did catch the big one!

Upon return to Port Douglas, your catch is prepared for you to take back to your accommodation, or for those who don’t like to cook - a local restaurant! Airline approved freezer boxes are also available for purchase for those wishing to take their catch home with them.

Truly, fishing in style!
