Exploring the Swains: Unforgettable Fishing Adventures
For those seeking an authentic Swains fishing adventure, Australiana is the perfect choice. Our 7 to 10-day charters are designed specifically for groups of up to 12 who are dedicated to maximising their time on the water. You’ll enjoy exclusive access to some of the world’s most remote and celebrated fishing grounds, all while relaxing in comfort aboard our well-equipped vessel.
Every aspect of your extended fishing journey is carefully planned, allowing you to fully unwind and focus on the experience. With years of local expertise and in-depth knowledge of the region, we operate charters to spectacular offshore reef systems and untouched stretches of Queensland’s coastline. These remarkable adventures promise to fill your fishing bank with stories and memories that will last a lifetime.
Extended Reef Charters for Small Groups
Our charters generally span 7 to 10 days, with the 7-day trips proving especially popular among guests. While the boat accommodates up to 12 people for group bookings, many groups opt to bring between 8 and 10. The price remains the same regardless of group size, which means everyone onboard enjoys plenty of space for a comfortable experience. This flexibility ensures a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere, no matter how many are in your party.
For those who aren't able to put together a full group for a private booking, there are often last-minute opportunities to join existing charters that have a few spots available. This is an excellent way to connect with fellow anglers and still enjoy everything our full charter experience has to offer. Be sure to check our Facebook page regularly for these openings and updates.
Comfortable Accommodation Onboard
We offer a total of six cabins: four of them are equipped with double beds on the lower level and single beds on top, making them perfect for families and couples while maintaining a maximum capacity of 12 guests.
All meals, linen, and towels are included, making preparation simple before departure. Guests are welcome to bring extra towels, snacks, and personal items for added comfort during the trip.
The vessel is set up specifically for extended offshore charters, allowing guests to enjoy several days at sea without sacrificing convenience or comfort.
Coastal and Reef Fishing Options
Each trip offers multiple fishing options depending on weather and group preferences, including coastal fishing grounds and outer reef locations. To improve access to productive fishing areas, the charter includes 4 purpose-built CNC Marine tinnies with 20 HP Honda outboards, with up to 3 people per boat.
These smaller boats allow guests to move into shallower reef systems, target specific species, and spread out across different fishing areas during the charter.
What to Bring
Guests should bring their own fishing gear & tackle and any snorkelling equipment required, as these are not supplied onboard.
Bait and ice are available on a pay-per-use basis. Recommended items include:
Sun protection
A quality raincoat
Reef and deep-water tackle
Trolling lures and top-water gear
Personal snacks and drinks
Alcohol and soft drinks are not supplied, although pre-purchase arrangements can often be made if required.
