What Our Customers Say
Today was our third trip out and although it’s close to a 6 hour trip we keep going back. Not just for the fishing but for the amazing experience created by Darryl and the team. Nothing is too much effort. Super helpful with the kids, always willing to give out some advice and go the extra mile to make the experience enjoyable for everyone on the boat. Highly recommended.
Awesome day out. 8 of us were so well looked after. Welcoming, friendly nice people and the boat had all we needed. Thanks for the fab day.
It’s great for kids and families, almost guaranteed a feed each trip. Great customer service from Darryl, Megan and crew. If you’re a learner it’s an easy way to give fishing a crack. The scenery you experience is world class. All round a good time.
