Offshore Fishing

For deep sea thrills and reef-to-esky moments, offshore fishing in the Mackay Isaac Region is hard to beat. Just beyond the coastline lies a playground of coral bommies, shoals, islands and reef systems teeming with prized species—and they’re closer than you think.

Launch from the Mackay Marina, Seaforth, Sarina, Ilbilbie or Cape Palmerston, and you’re only a short run to waters rich with red emperor, coral trout, Spanish mackerel, tuna, trevally and more.

Join a local charter for expert guidance and gear, or take your own boat out to the marks if you know your tides and want to go at your own pace.
