TEWANTIN BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Nine Hours Offshore: A Full‑Day Deep‑Sea Charter From Tewantin to the Noosa Reefs
A 9‑hour offshore charter operated by Deep Sea Fishing Co. Noosa aboard purpose‑built vessels; this guide explains what’s included, how the day flows and the practicalities to plan for.
Nine Hours Offshore: A Full‑Day Deep‑Sea Charter From Tewantin to the Noosa Reefs.
Aboard three 11‑metre purpose‑built offshore boats operated by Noosa’s longest‑running fishing company (est. 1989), the 9‑hour full‑day charter is built around long transits to outer reefs and extended fishing on uncharted grounds. The operator provides bait, tackle and food service so the day is focused on fishing a wider variety of grounds and species than a half‑day trip allows.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Purpose‑built offshore boats
The charters run aboard three purpose‑built 11‑metre offshore fishing boats—Catch 22, Deepsea 7 and Deepsea 11—crewed by a skipper and deckhand, giving anglers a stable platform and onboard amenities for a long day at sea.
Extended access to outer reefs and uncharted waters
The nine‑hour window allows travel of roughly 1.5 to 2 hours each way to outer reef fishing grounds, meaning more time on varied reefs and the chance to target a larger variety of species than shorter trips permit.
Gear, food and fish handling taken care of
Bait, tackle, water, soft drinks, morning tea, packaged snacks and lunch are provided on board; the operator also cleans caught fish, leaving anglers to concentrate on fishing.
What the day feels like
What a full day on this charter feels like
Expect a long, purposeful day: an early morning departure, a sustained transit to distant reef lines, extended reef‑fishing sessions under the guidance of skipper and deckhand, and a return run that completes roughly nine hours on the water. The extra time off shore is designed to reach more remote grounds and maximise fishing time.
