Victoria double booked us. We didn't end up going on our tour, nor did they let us know they had double booked us. We turned up in the morning to be turned away. We also HAVEN'T been refunded for the tour we didn't get to go on
Half day charter
Spent whole morning within 500mtrs of public wharf in Port Douglas creek, dealing with sand flies n mozzie.
Using 69kg line and 8/0 hooks, heavy sinkers and frozen bait to snag a couple of undersized bream. ( could have cast net a few lives)
Was Glass out outside near no wind but captain didn't want to venture out. Wind picked up to 14kn late afternoon.
Captain complained allot, didn't adjust techniques to catch fish also admitted he would be better off doing crab tours.
No sport in any fishing conducted.
Gear was bit crunchy and needed maintenance, rince in fresh after session and drop of oil on gears wouldn't hurt.
Feel like I got scammed.
Im a NC1 coxswain 20ys exp and have good understanding of weather and vessel capabilities. Spent previous few days on outside reef in wind with other companies. This day was still and between systems can't understand skippers choices.
Very disappointed day had massive potential but was wasted sitting in the swamp.
Should have hired one of the local Bbq boats.
Very well managed and the charter cares about the customer experience as well as the surrounding boats/environment. Would recommend to anyone! Definitely would book again
We reserved this tour well in advance and had a confirmed date and time for over a month. We traveled a long way to be there, so it was incredibly frustrating to be contacted just a couple of days before the tour and asked to reschedule — with no alternative offered for the original day. The reason given was simply that they “won’t be working this weekend,” despite the long-standing confirmation. We already had other plans on the new date, so we ended up missing out entirely. Looking back, we noticed other reviews mentioning similar issues, which we had initially dismissed as one-offs. Unfortunately, the lack of consideration for the customer doesn’t seem to be that uncommon. If you’re on a fixed schedule or coming from out of town, think twice before booking.
Great morning catching plenty of fish
We were looked after well, and had great commentary from the captain
The fishing trip was awesome. We were lucky enough to have great weather. It took about 25 min to get out onto the reef and started catching fish straight away. Highly recommend Out n About

Hi Ivan,
Thank you for your review :-)
Small group and lots of personal attention by our guide. Much better than a large charter boat with many people

Hi,
Thanks for your review!
A great day made a lot better by Sean a great skipper so a much recommended service with the combination of fishing offshore and around the inland waters
Excellent day up the Dixon Creek, was occupied all day with fish and excellent guide. Also took my two boys (10 and 13) and they loved it.
U can’t keep the fish u catch!! Not point of going fishing!
The fishing spots was good.. the guy was very helpful
Caught lots of fish. None of them were keepers but had a great day. Malcolm, our skipper, was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Thanks so much Jane we are really glad you enjoyed your charter and hope to see you again soon!
Could not go out to the reef due to weather.
Malcolm the captain was great helping us have a good day in the Estuary of Port Doulas.
Personal best days fishing for me with 2xCod, 2xMangrove jack and a finger mark

Cheers Paul, we are so glad your morning charter with skipper Malcolm. You definitely landed some great estuary species! It was one of the largest cod we’ve encountered in there and some chunky jacks. Well done. We hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday and would love to see you again soon. Thanks from Ash and all the crew at Out n About Sportfishing
Great morning of fishing with Rossco on Reel Addiction. Caught lots of smaller fish, a Bronze Whaler shark and enough legal fish for dinner with a few friends. We will definitely be back.

Thanks Kim, we are so glad you enjoyed your charter. It’s really great that you got to experience the reef and estuary system in the same trip. Hopefully next time you are on the water the fish are on the bite a bit harder. Cheers Ash Out n About Sportfishing
Paul was our guide and took us to several locations to fish
We fortunately did catch 18 fish which was a thrill given we had never caught fish before.
Paul was really considerate of his guests and ensured we all were assisted with bait and helped everyone when our hooks got caught.
He was very aware of everything that was going on around us.
Great day
