What’s included (and what’s not)
At Noosa Bluewater Charters, we have three action-packed offshore fishing adventures to choose from. We also host private fishing charters from Noosa for special events, like celebrations and corporate events.
Our charters include:
An experienced skipper and crew,
Bait, tackle, and premium fishing gear,
Safety equipment,
Onboard restrooms, and
Refreshments, snacks, or meals (depending on trip length).
Our friendly crew know the best fishing spots and provides all the guidance you need to have a safe and enjoyable time on the water. They’ll even take care of baiting hooks and cleaning your legal catch so it’s ready to cook once you get home.
All that’s left for you to bring is:
- Sunscreen,
- A hat,
- Sunglasses,
- Non-slip shoes,
- Sun-safe clothing,
- A camera,
- Personal items, and
- Your own snacks and drinks (no glass bottles, please!).
You can even bring your own fishing gear aboard.
While it can be tempting to opt for the cheapest offshore fishing charter on the market, chances are it won’t pay off. Instead, you’ll often be in for less deck space, older fishing gear, and shorter fish time. So, for the best deep sea fishing Noosa has to offer, trust the crew at Noosa Bluewater Charters.
