Phoenix Fishing Charter's Half-Day Tour is a dedicated four-hour trip through the stunning Whitsunday Islands, targeting a variety of local fish. Their specially-designed vessel, equipped with twin 300HP engines and both Lowrance & Furuno Sounders, ensures swift and speedy access to the best fishing spots around the islands. With a maximum of eight passengers per trip, guests have plenty of space, time, and attention from the crew.
Depending on tides and conditions, your expert skipper could frequent spots like Hayman Island, Hook Island, Whitsunday Island, and Deloraine Island. Using bait (bottom bashing) and jigs (jigging), guests will have the opportunity to catch local fish like Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Sweet Lip, Nannygai, and more.
