Book the entire boat and make the day yours. Top Gear’s private charters are Gold Coast’s go-to for group fishing experiences done properly — bucks parties, corporate days, family outings, birthdays, NDIS groups, and anyone who wants offshore fishing on their own terms. Half day, three-quarter day, or full day. Departure times tailored to suit your group. Max 12 guests, award-winning vessel, skipper who knows exactly where the fish are. This is the Gold Coast private charter experience done right.
PRIVATE CHARTER OPTIONS
Half Day, Three-Quarter Day, or Full Day — Your Call
Top Gear private charters run three flexible duration options, all fully catered with gear, bait, tackle, fish cleaning, and a skipper who plans every trip around real fishing conditions.
Half Day Charter — Approx. 5 Hours
A serious half-day offshore session — enough time to target reef species, cover good ground, and come home with fish. Perfect for corporate groups, families with younger kids, or anyone who wants a quality offshore experience in a shorter window. Departure times flexible to suit your group.
Three-Quarter Day Charter — Approx. 6-7 Hours
The sweet spot. More ground, more fishing time, and the ability to head a bit wider to target pelagic species alongside reef fish. Popular with serious recreational anglers and groups who want the full Gold Coast offshore experience without committing to an all-day run.
Full Day Charter — 7+ Hours
This is the full run. Head wide offshore, target mahi mahi, Spanish mackerel, tuna, marlin, and the big reef species in deep water. Maximum fishing time, maximum ground covered. If you’re bringing a crew of serious anglers and want to make a real day of it — this is the trip.
Built for Every Group — From Bucks Parties to Corporate Events
Top Gear private charters are genuinely flexible. Whether it’s 4 mates on a bucks fishing run, a corporate team-building day, a group of first-timers bringing the family, or an NDIS group wanting a fully supported offshore experience — Drewe and the team will make it work.
- Bucks and hens parties — best morning of the trip, guaranteed
- Corporate team days — offshore, no conference rooms, people actually enjoy it
- Family outings including kids — hands-on, fun, and memorable
- NDIS and disability-supported groups — fully accessible vessel
- Experienced angler groups — more independence, fish your way
- Gift vouchers available — give someone the gift of a proper fishing day
