Highlights
Outing Highlights
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.
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.
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.
