Mission Beach Fishing Charters with Hooked Up Fishing Adventures.
“Fishing Mission Beach since the 80s”
If you are looking for an action packed full day fishing the world famous Great Barrier Reef out of Mission Beach with the most experienced crew on the coast, look no further.
Owner/Skipper Alister Pike came to Mission Beach as a young boy in 1967 with his family, who started banana farming at Narragon Beach. Alister quickly got into the fishing groove. Weekends and holidays were always spent out on the reef with family and friends, catching the big ones! Alister has developed this hobby into a lifelong passion, now passed on to his 8 kids. Two of the boys, Mitchell and Gererd are skippers in their own right, Mitchell now has his own charter in Stavanger, Norway andGererd works in the family business.
The Great Barrier Reef offshore from Mission Beach holds great table and sportfish. From the exquisite Coral Trout, the norths number one table fish, to the high adrenalin silver bullet that is the Spanish Mackeral, our waters hold numerous other species in between. Other piscatorial targets include Nannigai, Sweetlip, Spangled and Red Emporer, Gold Spot Cod, Jobfish, Reef Jacks, to name but a few. Reef edges, flats, wrecks and rubble beds may be all fished depending on what’s happening on the day.
No experience is needed, along with putting you on the best spots (thanks to our state of the art dynamic positioning system), our crew will show you all the tips needed to get “Hooked Up”.
Our Boat

There is plenty of room onboard, we are licensed to carry a maximum of 12 passengers around our islands, and up to 9 to the Outer Great Barrier Reef, making her great for larger groups, fantastic for private charters.
She is fast and comfortable with a 2016 model 225 Yamaha pushing her at up to 25 knots cruise (dependant on sea and wind conditions).
Be it popper , jigging trolling or bottom fishing, her open centre console design and great stability makes her the logical choice for your offshore trip. Great visibility and her ability to manoeuvre in tight spots allows you to get up close and personal with both the fish and the reef.
