Cullen bay fishing charters

10/10 experience! From the easy efficient booking to the outstanding service, we couldn’t fault the team and the day we had. A must if visiting Darwin!

Thanks so much to Paul and the team for the most memorable experience. Myself and my family were visiting Darwin and were recommend to try out this fishing charter, it did not disapoint!

Had a wonderful experience, can’t praise the whole team enough. Great service, took us to a really great spot with lots to get at. If you are looking for a fishing charter you won’t go wrong. 5-star.

Had a great day out on the Water. Crew were top class and food was also better than i expected. Great value, would highly recommend.

We had an absolutely brilliant day, caught plenty, breakfast and lunch provided and the crew did a great job making sure everyone was well looked after

REGRETS.

My partner and I were holidaying in Darwin from QLD, we booked this fishing charter for the day before we were planning to leave. The day before the charter, the bloke called us and said that unfortunately due to weather they could not take the boat out, after talking to him for longer my partner figured out it was actually due to lack of numbers, which is totally fine - we were disappointed but understanding. My partner continued chatting to him and he said that he could book us in for the following day (the day when we were supposed to leave) so we thought stuff it, we will extend the trip and rebook. So we booked additional accom and were very excited. Then he pulled the same thing, but this time owned up to the fact that it was to do with the lack of numbers. We explained that we were unable to extend the trip any longer and that we would just like a refund. He said that he does not do refunds but that he would do a credit. We explained that we’re travelling around Aus and a credit would be of no use to us as we have no plans to come back to NT as we will be on the road for a long time AND we are from QLD. He said he would get it sorted and for us to send through our details to his admin lady, which we did. After multiple phone calls, texts and emails we still do not have a refund. Really disappointing, he seemed like a really good bloke - I just feel like because it was HIM that changed his mind and decided not to take the boat out WE should be entitled to a refund, since really there was absolutely no cost to him what so ever. However if it was US who changed our mind and decided not to go, I would totally understand not being refunded, as there would be out of pocket expenses.

I am writing this after one more failed attempt at a phone call (from my phone, he has since blocked my partners number).

Would not recommend booking this charter if you are not local, we are two young travellers in our 20s and this was a huge splurge for us. Very sad and very disappointing as I believe we have been nothing but kind and reasonable.

Poor service & unprofessional. He changed our charter from Tuesday to Thursday saying due to tides then 2 days before changed to Wednesday saying due to weather. Tides and weather were consistent all week. All he was doing was trying to get maximum numbers on his boat. When I ended up in hospital on the Tuesday and couldn't make the charter a request for a refund was flatly refused.

Awesome morning out with these guys. Not much caught but when you come to Darwin do a charter with these guys. Food good and very helpful. Next time up will do a full day Thanks Guys

I never leave reviews but I booked a trip with Paul but unfortunately the weather buggered the plans. Paul tried everything to get us out fishing but time beat us. He refunded me 100% with no fuss. Very refreshing in these timesi will be re-booking next trip. Cheers

We went on a 1/2 day of fishing on Thursday, 5th August. We left at 6.15am and it was awesome to watch the sunrise as we cruised to our first and many fishing locations. There was 6 adults & 2 teenagers so weren't crowded at all. Ham & cheese crossiants for breakfast was awesome. We caught alot of small sharks, cod, stripey snapper, batfish, one guy even caught a big jew fish. We did not caught any decent size, good eating fish, but at the end of the day, they gave us 2 stripey snapper to take with us.which was very nice. Lunch was wraps and sandwiches.yum. The crew was knowledgable and very helpful. Even though it was windy, it was still a great day out. We got back at 1.00pm.

Paul and his crew did everything possible to make my darwin fishing experience something to remember
Friendly, professional and a great social experience
Highly reccomended

When the skipper says 'this is nice and shallow, we're only in 9ft of water' you know you're on the wrong fishing charter. Didn't intend to pay for a fishing charter that I could do on my own boat. Got to say, the decky was awesome though. Hence the extra star.

My wife & I went out fishing yesterday 9th, what an absolute blast! Tare Tiki boat was SO comfortable, Skipper was knowledgeable and informative, Shaun the Deckie was most pleasant and unlike most men managed to do 6things at once! Bait/birds nests/ unhook fish/re hook lines/hand out lunch/always washing the sides and decks!
We caught lots but most of all a huge Jewfush!
All fish were filleted and given back to the owners in self seal bags, clean & tidy. Now thats service!
We'll be back. Would recommend this charter to othets. Thank you.

Great day out on the water, I caught 2 nice Goldie's, everyone on board caught something in some way shape or form, the staff really knew their stuff and looked after us very well. Great local knowledge of all the good spots. Highly recommend Cullen bay fishing charters 10/10

Loved our day on the boat!
Great day out and fantastic value.
The crew were great fun too! Definitely one to remember.

Awesome day out on the water this morning. Huge thanks to Paul and his crew. We were put over some of Darwin's best fishing spots. Everything is organised. Tea and coffee with bfast as you rock up. These mob will look after all your needs.
