Services and Offerings

On the Hunt Charters offer Half Day, Full Day and 6 hour Packages as well as bespoke cruises and water taxis services.

Your adventure typically begins at the wharf, where the friendly crew welcomes you with all gear provided – rods, tackle, and bait are ready to go. As you motor into prime fishing grounds, keep an eye out for gannets diving, dolphins playing, and perhaps even an orca passing through. The skipper will share local tips, help with your technique, and make sure you have the best chance of hauling in snapper, kingfish, and other local species. You’re welcome to take home your catch (within legal limits) – the perfect way to end the day with a feast of the freshest fish you’ll ever eat.
