Where can I go?

Charter locations can shift to best support your operations, whether that means a few days in the Ribbon Reefs, a protected anchorage in Mrs Watson’s Bay at Lizard Island, or further exploration out to the Coral Sea.

Each mothershipping experience is fully customised, combining operational support with elevated onboard service, premium provisioning, and expert crew. Whether you’re chasing marlin, conducting reef surveys, or simply seeking a remote floating base, Morris Nautical ensures your journey is efficient, comfortable, and unforgettable.

M.Y Northern Escape at Lizard Island

Catch of the day

Whether you’re casting a line for the very first time or have decades of marlin battles behind you, our expert guides are here to ensure a memorable charter. They know the local waters intimately and tailor each fishing session to suit your experience and confidence. And at the end of the day, there’s nothing quite like the taste of your own catch, especially when it’s prepared by a private chef aboard your own luxury superyacht. Our chefs are on hand to create a bespoke culinary experience exhilarating as the catch itself.
