Thrill to the scream of the reel as a Wahoo strikes in the white water! Head offshore aboard the fast new Stebercraft vessel to the Gold Coast's best fishing locations. We target snapper, teraglin, pearl perch, tusk fish, marlin, dolphin fish and tuna. You’ll have an amazing deep sea experience!
At the fishing vessel in the early hours of the morning, you will be met by the skipper and introduced to the features of the fishing vessel. The vessel is a new Stebercraft, purpose built to Maritime Safety Queensland's survey standards and powered by a Volvo turbo diesel engine. The boat is also equipped with the best G.P.S. and Fishfinding technology.
Following a short safety brief, the current fishing conditions, travel times and destination are also discussed.
On most trips travel time is kept to a minimum and the boat heads to one of the closer offshore reefs, travel time is generally about 20 mins. Lures are also trolled, the reel smoking speed of a Wahoo run is unbelievable. It’s quite common to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat and during the whale season, groups of Humpback Whales are often seen breaching.
Upon arrival at the first fishing location, a ‘fishing lesson’ is given on how best to use the rods and reels, baiting and most importantly how to see and feel the bites. Even the most inexperienced angler can catch fish armed with the right knowledge. If you have trouble the first time, your skipper will happily guide you until you master the skill.
Then it's down to the action! It gets very busy when there’s a school of fish under the boat. As you are fishing, your skipper will also put out a float bait or a live bait to lure the bigger predators. Be ready! He may pass you the rod with the BIG one on the line. We also move from reef to reef to maximise time at sea and maximise the catch.
Your fish are cleaned and bagged for you to take home and your skipper can also advise you how best to cook your fish.
This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.
Venue:
Main Beach, Gold Coast.
Session Length
Our fishing trips operate seven days a week. Weekends are busy so please book at least 3 weeks in advance. Half day trips depart at 6am and return at about 11am. Please be at the marina by 5.45am. All trips are subject to weather conditions and a minimum number of anglers per trip are required.

People of all ages go Deep Sea Fishing, there are very few limitations. Please advise the skipper if you have a medical condition prior to departure.
Numbers:
The price quoted is for one person. Average numbers on a half day deep sea fishing trip range from 5-8 people, so the boat is never overcrowded. You will also get ‘one on one’ help from your skipper to make sure you come home with fish.
Spectators:
You don’t have to be an angler to take our trips; many people come along just for the experience. As well as the fishing experience there are whales, dolphins and many seabirds to see. Please Note: Spectators are an additional cost - payable direct to the supplier.
Weather:
All trips are subject to weather. We are not affected by rain, but strong winds and swell, may require us to reschedule your experience for a later date. Safety is important. Please call your skipper the night before the trip (about 6.30pm) for a weather check and to confirm your trip.

Excellent day, would do it again.

Very good operator who goes out of his way to assist his clients. My third trip with this operator and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody considering this experience. I also find the services provided by RedBalloon make the whole process very simple and straight forward.
-
Had a great time, Bob was very knowledgeable and attentive. Did feel a bit sorry for the three guys who were seasick, but there is a good lesson in that, take seasick pills! Caught plenty of fish and had a good feed of flathead that night.

The fishing trip was excellent, I was running about 25 mins late the the captain held the boat for us which we were thankful of. I have recommend already the day trip to 2 friends who are coming out from the states. Yes I would booking again and Yes I would use RedBalloon again when booking something -to do.
-
The fishing trip that I went on was one of the best Deep sea fishing trips that I have been on for a long time, Yes I will recommend the same boat to anyone who asks me in the future.

Unfortunately weather conditions were not what the bureau forcast which was no fault of the skipper. Fishing experience was very good, I had a great time as short as it was. Looking forward to going again on the 'fish n fun' boat

It was an excellent day, very helpful and exciting and great day
-
It was a brilliant day - good weather,- operator was very experienced & went out of his way to make sure that our day was successful. Caught some great fish - Pearl Perch (same as the picture), King Fish and other varieties. Have enjoyed the dining experience eating the fish since. A tip - take some sea sick tablets before leaving otherwise your day may not turn out as you had hoped.
-
Accompanied my Husband who had received his voucher as a Birthday present in June 2011. Great day - Operator experienced and went out of his way to make sure we had a good day catching fish and gave good tips. Great weather. Caught some big fish just like the photo. I have enjoyed cooking and eating the fish since. Would go again if given the opportunity.
