Eight Hours Offshore: A Full-Day Deep-Sea Fishing Push Out of Hillarys.
From Hillarys Boat Harbour you head offshore for a full day of lines in the water—bottom bouncing, deep dropping and sportcasting aimed at everything from dhuys and pink snapper to big pelagics such as tuna, sailfish and even marlin. The No Limitts vessel is outfitted to make a day at sea purposeful and comfortable: gourmet meals served aboard, top-tier Shimano gear, and options to catch-and-cook your haul.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A purpose-built, accessible fishing platform
The charter runs from a custom Sabre Craft 7.8 m twin-hull catamaran built specifically for fishing and accessibility, powered by twin 300 hp Suzuki outboards and fitted with practical kit such as a Haulmaster craypot lifter—designed to get you to the grounds quickly and handle a serious day of fishing.
All day on the bite—demersals to pelagics
This is a full-day, lines-in-the-water program focused on chasing reef demersals like dhuys and pink snapper on the outer reefs, with the option to target larger pelagics such as tuna, sailfish and marlin depending on your preference.
Top gear, meals aboard and cook-your-catch option
Trips include morning tea and a served lunch, top-quality Shimano tackle provided, the ability to pull craypots and the option to have your fresh catch cooked onboard—plus a prize for fish of the day to keep the competition lively.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
From a 7:00am departure, the day is deliberately pared to its purpose: an hour’s run to the grounds, a morning push chasing the big ones, a brief break for morning tea, then more concentrated fishing through lunch and the afternoon before heading back to Hillarys. Expect a steady rhythm of travelling, setting lines, checking pots and swapping locations as the crew chases the best water for demersals and pelagics.
