If you’re ready to go fishing in Airlie Beach, we’ve got you covered with Airlie Beach Fishing Adventures. With Captain Jim at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Red Emperor Snapper, Coral Trout, Mackerel, Black Jewfish, Nannygai, Cobia, Sweetlip Emperor, Fingermark Bream, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish.

Kids are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea for a boost of energy when needed!

Capt. Jim operates a 30’ Cougar Cat catamaran with capacity for 7 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks included on board.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Airlie Beach Fishing Adventures.

Great Family memories
Half Day Trip – Private on January 23, 20253 adults1 child
What can I say that best describes our fishing trip with the guys from ‘Airlie Beach Fishing Adventures’…sensational!! My wife, 16yr old daughter, 7yr old autistic son and I book the boat so it was just for us and the guys were amazing with our son, they put us straight onto hook up after hook up. My kids caught their first fish that put a bend on the rod. The boat is fast, comfortable and well maintained, has a full roof to help keep the sun off you, but For me those guys were the highlight of the trip. Amazing fishermen and true gentleman.

Great morning fishing
Half Day Trip – Shared on July 16, 20251 adult1 child
Loved this charter, in fact it's one of the best I've been on. Top gear (saragossa's) skipper and deckie baited the hooks, unhooked fish, dropped lines in If you were taking a break and all with a TV on deck with the sonar going. Really good fun, straight on the fish and a decent feed taken home after just 4 hours. Thanks guys!

Best day fishing I’ve ever had.
Half Day Trip – Shared on April 4, 20251 adult
Jim was fantastic, got us on the spots fast and efficiently. Lots of variety and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Will miss certainly be hopping back on when I’m back in Airlie. I can confidently say this is the best day fishing I’ve ever had. Even managed to pull a 67cm coral trout. So appreciative, many thanks Jim!
