Enjoy a private day aboard Australia’s newest game fishing vessel. Year-round, from Cairns.

Gambler is available for private day charters throughout the Great Barrier Reef. With a top speed of 40 knots, grounds that take other boats half a day to reach are within easy range, so more of your day is spent fishing. From heavy-tackle marlin in the peak of the season to reef and bluewater sportfishing through the rest of the year, every charter is tailored to your group, the conditions and what’s biting.

Heavy Tackle Marlin (Sep – Dec)

Chase giant black marlin on the grounds that made Cairns famous. Tiagra 130s, a crew who’ve been there before and the chance of a fish of a lifetime.

Bluewater & Reef Sportfishing

Troll the drop-offs for wahoo, mackerel and tuna, then work the reef for coral trout and red emperor. Variety, action and dinner-sized fish.

Light Tackle & Topwater

Cast poppers and stickbaits at giant trevally in the surge zone, or spin for Spanish mackerel and tuna. Fast-paced fishing on Shimano Stella outfits.  Work surface poppers and stickbaits along the outer reef edges, targeting giant trevally in the surge zones where current, swell, and bait create explosive strikes. Switch to high-speed spinning for Spanish mackerel and tuna. Armed with Shimano Stella tackle, experience some of the most exciting light-tackle lure fishing the tropics have to offer.

Spear & Reef Day

Snorkel and spearfish the outer reef with Riffe and Rob Allen guns, guided by our crew. Combine with a morning troll on the way out.

Family & Corporate Fishing Days

A thrilling, fully crewed day on the water for clients, teams or family. No experience needed: our crew rigs, coaches and handles the fish.
