Marlin fishing in Australia is legendary. The Black Marlin of the Pacific Ocean migrate to this 240km/150 mile section of the Great Barrier Reef annually to spawn. Beginning with the arrival of the first fish in early September, the marlin season extends through until late December.
During the season our superb range of game boats and motherships are to be found on the outer edge of the Reef in the Coral Sea. This quest is for the biggest and most powerful of all the game fish – the legendary BLACK MARLIN!!
Seventy percent of all marlin over a 1000 pound are caught between Cairns and Lizard Island.
