Looking for a fully equipped charter boat to take you for a day of bliss fishing? Whitsundays Fishing charters can provide this and more, with their professional and affordable half day trip service. Before setting off on either the morning or afternoon boat, enjoy a much needed cup of tea to get you in gear for your adventure out at sea. If you are a novice to the sport and are in need of a few pointers on the best way to catch fish, now is your time to grill the brains of the pros over a casual drink. Once you are geared up and on board, it’s time to take to the rod and pull in your catch – and with such an array of fish swarming the Whitsundays oceans, it won’t be long until you’re feeling a tug. Once you have successfully reeled in your prize, hand it over to one of the friendly tenders who will clean it up and place it in ice, keeping it nice and fresh for tonights supper. Once both feet are back on land, head down to Fish D’vine to put your feet up and enjoy your catch.
