A private charter on Blue Whaler offers a full day of reef fishing on the Great Barrier Reef with exclusive use of the vessel. It’s an ideal option for groups wanting a private experience, whether that’s a group of mates, families, corporate outings or Christmas parties looking for something a little different.
The charter operates as a full-day private experience, departing from Cairns Marlin Marina, and accommodates 1–12 passengers. Optional snorkelling can be added for groups who would like to include time in the water during the day.
Where snorkelling is selected as an add-on, it is conducted at Michaelmas Cay. We generally recommend snorkelling earlier in the day, followed by fishing, to make the most of conditions and the overall experience.
