About this tour
Fish the sheltered waters of Gold Coast's Broadwater aboard the Beachcomber, a roomy vessel designed for up to eight anglers. This five-hour private charter supplies rods, reels and tackle so you can test different techniques across calm flats and channels. The boat's extended canopy and drop-down side panels keep you shaded or protected from wind, whilst onboard facilities and complimentary refreshments mean you stay comfortable between casts. Expect to tangle with flathead, bream and whiting depending on conditions and season.

What to expect
You'll depart into the glassy waters of the Broadwater, where the skipper positions the boat over known fishing grounds. Rod selection lets you experiment with different tactics—casting lures, dropping soft plastics, or live-baiting depending on what's biting that day. Most of your time is spent actively fishing from the spacious deck; there's room to move without crowding. The boat's protection means you're comfortable whether it's hot or blustery. Don't expect a full-day offshore expedition—this is intimate, calm-water fishing where technique and patience matter more than distance travelled.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, hat and polarised sunglasses for spotting fish. Wear non-slip footwear. Charter operates in the protected Broadwater, so it's suitable for those new to fishing but not advisable if you have spinal injury concerns or cardiovascular limitations. Prams and service animals are welcome.
