Ready for the Reef

Heading offshore in Cairns means tackling open water. We provide boats with hulls that cut through chop, fuel tanks sized for long runs, and layouts that keep you comfortable and secure on extended days out.

Perfect for the Creeks

Many locals spend just as much time fishing in estuaries and creeks as they do offshore. We offer boat designs that can slip into shallows, turn easily and still give you casting space for all-day sessions.

  • What kind of boat is best for reef trips in Cairns?

    Offshore reef trips often involve long distances and rougher conditions. A plate alloy or fibreglass hull with a deep-V design provides stability, comfort and fuel efficiency. Larger fuel tanks and higher sides add safety for extended offshore runs common in the Cairns region.

  • Are smaller boats suitable for creeks and estuaries?

    Yes, many anglers prefer smaller, shallow-draft boats for fishing the creeks and estuaries around Cairns. They’re easier to launch, handle and retrieve at tidal ramps. A compact layout also makes casting and manoeuvring simpler in tight waters, while still offering plenty of fishing space.

  • What features should I look for in a family boat?

    If you’re using your boat for both fishing and family outings, consider seating, shade and storage. Comfortable seating, bimini tops for sun protection, and secure storage compartments make your trips safer and more enjoyable for kids and non-fishing passengers.
