Bare boat hire

Got everything else but a boat? Suitable for experienced Fishing Clubs and seasoned anglers with their own fishing equipment and gear who need less assistance behind the rod. Or if you simply want to customise your own charter for a non-fishing private event, this is for you!

Plus $80 per additional person for groups larger than 10 (call to book)
Note: Aquilla and Reel Force can hold up to 12 and 23 passengers respectively, but we only allow 10 to fish at any one time for safety reasons. For groups larger than 10, people would need to swap in and out to fish.

Public holidays will incur a 25% surcharge
