According to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, one in five Australian adults goes recreational fishing every year, and it is easy to see why. A guided charter is the best way to get the most out of it, whether you are a seasoned angler or picking up a rod for the first time. A good charter gives you an expert crew, quality gear and access to Sydney’s best fishing spots. Here are five features that make a charter fishing trip worth it.
Expert Fishing Guides and Crew
Book a private charter and you get a highly skilled, experienced skipper and crew. George Aslanian, our owner and operator, has been fishing these waters for over 30 years. The team is fully licensed and knows the best spots, the best times, the fish that are about and the techniques to catch them, and everyone is trained in safety and emergency procedures. You can read more about George and the team on our About page.
High-Quality Vessels & Equipment
The right boat and gear turn an ordinary day into a great one. Our fleet is modern and purpose-built for fishing: two boats that carry up to 12 anglers between them, packed with the latest sounding and GPS technology. Every charter comes with top-of-the-range Shimano rods, reels, tackle and fresh bait, plus safety gear, life jackets and cold storage for your catch.
Access to the Best Fishing Spots in Sydney
A charter gets you to spots you would never find on your own. Sydney Harbour alone is full of fish, and popular grounds include Fairlight, Bradleys Head, Chowder Bay, Middle Harbour, Long Reef and Bondi, all capable of producing a serious catch. Have a look at our ten favourite fishing spots in Sydney for more.
A Wide Variety of Fish
Sydney’s waters hold a huge range of species, including kingfish, flathead, bream, trevally, salmon, marlin, yellowfin and bluefin tuna, snapper and plenty more. You are welcome to release your fish, must release anything protected or undersized, and can keep whatever is legal to take home. See the full fish species guide for what is on offer.
Different Types of Fishing Charters
We tailor trips for all ages and abilities, from deep sea adventures for experienced anglers to relaxed days out for casual fishers. Options include reef fishing, game fishing, jig fishing, sport fishing, corporate charters and bucks party trips.
Whether you are a seasoned pro or picking up a rod for the first time, a good charter does the hard part for you.
