This isn’t a boat tour with a fishing rod attached. Top Gear Fishing Charters runs real offshore fishing on the Gold Coast — planned around tides, structure, and where the fish actually are. Skipper Drewe Jensen brings over a decade of serious time on the water, a deep connection to the ocean, and one clear goal every single trip: bent rods and fish on deck. Max 12 guests. Premium Penn and Shimano gear. Your own rod position. Departing daily from the Gold Coast Seaway.

The Real Thing
10 Years of Offshore Experience. Every Trip Planned. No Guesswork.
Drewe Jensen has spent the better part of a decade learning the Gold Coast’s offshore grounds — the reefs, the currents, the drop-offs where the big fish hold. Top Gear Fishing Charters was built on that knowledge. Every charter is planned around real conditions — tides, weather, structure — so you’re not just going for a ride. You’re going fishing. And there’s a difference. With a maximum of 12 guests per trip, you get space, attention, and actual fishing time — not a crowded deck where half the group can’t get a line in.
Our Gold Coast Fishing Charter Packages
Whether you want a quick dawn session on the reef, a full day offshore chasing pelagics, or a private boat hire for your group — we’ve got a trip built for it. Every package includes all gear, bait, tackle, and fish cleaning. You just show up and fish.
Mixed Group Charters
Two scheduled mixed group departures daily — typically 5:30am and 11:00am. Share the boat with fellow anglers and target reef and pelagic species offshore. All gear included. Great for solo bookings, couples, or small groups wanting to join the action without booking the whole boat.
Private Fishing Charters
Book the whole vessel for your crew. Half day, three-quarter day, or full day — departure times tailored to suit your group. Perfect for bucks parties, corporate days, family trips, and serious anglers who want to fish their way. Private charters depart from the Gold Coast Seaway and cover serious offshore ground.
Reef Fishing Charters
Bottom fishing on Gold Coast offshore reefs targeting snapper, cobia, kingfish, teraglin, tailor, and flathead. Drewe knows the reef systems, he fishes them constantly, and he puts you on fish. This is what Top Gear is built around.
Why Our Guests Keep Coming Back
Every trip is planned around tides, currents, bait movement, reef structure and real-time ocean conditions to give guests the best shot at quality Gold Coast fishing.
If the bite slows down, we move, adapt and keep working to stay on the fish — even when it means burning extra fuel to find better action.
Skipper Drewe is hands-on every trip, working the deck beside guests from start to finish.
