Remote Expeditions & Adventures

Let us customise the fishing trip of your dreams. Moana Fishing Charters is highly flexible and we can work with you and advise on a charter just for you.

Some of our popular options include:

  • Princess Charlotte Bay adventures
  • Exploratory fishing expeditions to remote Cape York and the Gulf of Carpenteria
  • Offshore Reefs in the Coral Sea
    e.g Osprey, Holmes, Flinders, Seamount etc.

...imagine waking to a beautiful sunrise followed by breakfast in the still calm of the gorgeous morning. You then spend the day fishing for Barramundi, Red emporer, Mackerel, Coral trout or Mud crabs.

Nannigai caught!Or maybe you would like to climb up a hill or comb the beaches on a tropical island. At the end of the day you'll generally be sitting on the back deck, watching the most spectacular sunset while you enjoy a few cold drinks and fresh oysters as the fish you caught that afternoon is being prepared for your dinner (just like monday at the office!)

Dan and Max's BarraIt's normal to catch several hundred fish on an extended trip (most of which are of course released to fight another day). Extended trips can be tailored to suit both the fishing nut as well as those wanting a totally relaxing holiday away from hustle, bustle and telephones! This is the ideal way for couples to have the trip of a lifetime. Life really does start "North of Cooktown".

Breakfast on MoanaMoana III is available for Remote Expeditions & Adventure charters from December to September each year. These trips are made to fit your desires and timetable but we recommend between 5-14 days.

Caught on the rocksPlease enquire if you're interested in living onboard the "Moana" or having us arrange a luxury mother vessel that can look after your every need each night including absolute 5 star dining and accommodation.


Testimonials

We have had some good days fishing over the years on our boat Moana. However, our most recent trip of an extended holiday of 13 days around the Princess Charlotte Bay area was exceptional! Having had the boat extensively refurbished in 2002 and fully air-conditioned we were more than comfortable. Our enthusiastic skipper, Daniel McCarthy, added to our enjoyment by providing us with a great range of fishing options. Having travelled quite a bit of the world and seen some terrific places we would have to say that our time away on the boat is by far the most enjoyable. It's just so wonderful to be able to get away from it all up to the beautiful areas of Cape York. We really love cruising around the islands and catching plenty of fish. I can't ever remember seeing my husband, Max being so relaxed and enjoying himself so much. Well come to think of it… yes I can… it was the previous time we went away on Moana!

The jumping Tunas, The dolphins, green shadows of Mahi Mahi racing past the boat, The reef, the boat, the outstanding crew, a banded sea snake right on the deck and not least the Black Marlins – indeed a perfect trip, I am very thankful for all you did, it was perfect. Please extend my thanks to the crew as well.
