Looking for a true offshore fishing experience without spending your whole day at sea? Our 5-hour offshore fishing charter is the perfect way to get your fix without the full-day commitment. Whether you're a day tripper from Brisbane, an overseas traveller exploring the Sunshine Coast, or just short on time, this trip delivers excitement, great fishing, and coastal vibes – all before lunch.
Departing from Pelican Waters Marina in Caloundra, you'll head offshore aboard our custom-built, 650HP vessel, designed for comfort, speed, and serious fishability. With a 360° walkaround deck, high sides for comfort, and seating for everyone, our boat is made for both keen anglers and first-timers.
During the trip, we fish local reef systems like Caloundra 5 Mile, 7 Mile, Murphys Reef, and the Coffee Rocks, targeting a variety of tasty reef species such as snapper, tuskfish, sweetlip, Moses perch, mackerel, tailor, and more. All bait, tackle, rods, and reels are provided – just bring your hat, sun cream, and sense of adventure. You'll be guided by a professional skipper with over 30 years of local fishing experience, ensuring you get the most out of your time on the water.
This charter is also a great choice for families and those new to fishing – we keep things relaxed, informative, and fun. While it's not a deep-sea mission, there’s always the chance of some great action, and you get to keep all legal fish you catch.
So if you're short on time but big on adventure, this half-day trip is your chance to cast a line, breathe in the salt air, and enjoy the thrill of offshore fishing – without spending your whole day at sea.
