THE OPERATOR

Noosa’s longest‑established offshore fleet

Operating since 1989, Deep Sea Fishing Co runs purpose-built 11‑metre charter vessels and delivers experienced crewed trips that travel farther to fish more uncharted grounds than shorter trips allow.

THE ROUTE

Outer-reef fishing with longer transit

The full-day format allows travel to outer reefs and remote grounds, giving you the time to fish a wider variety of sites and target an expanded mix of species compared with shorter charters.

ON-BOARD SERVICE

Bait, snacks and fish processing included

Trips include bait, tackle, water, soft drinks, morning tea and packaged snacks; the crew also clean your catch so you leave the boat ready to transport your fish home.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You board an 11‑metre purpose‑built vessel with a skipper and deckhand, transit for roughly 1.5–2 hours out to the outer reef, spend the bulk of the day reef fishing across multiple grounds, then head back — a long, methodical day that maximizes time on productive offshore grounds.
