Princess II Fishing Charters Hervey Bay

Cast a line in the sheltered waters of Hervey Bay aboard the Princess II, a purpose-built 45-foot fishing vessel operated by a skipper whose local knowledge spans decades on these waters. Departing from the Great Sandy Straits Marina in Hervey Bay, Princess II Fishing Charters takes groups of up to 20 anglers out to the protected reefs tucked inside K'gari (formerly Fraser Island), where the island shields the fishing grounds from prevailing winds and swells for a comfortable day on the water. K'gari acts as a natural breakwater, making these reef systems some of the most reliably fishable grounds on the Fraser Coast. Target species include snapper, mackerel, sweetlip, trevally, coral trout, and a range of other reef and pelagic fish. The vessel trolls as it travels to and from the reefs, giving you a genuine shot at a strike well before you reach the grounds — the operator reports a strong strike rate on the troll. Everything you need for a great day's fishing comes with the charter. Rods, reels, and tackle are all provided, along with fresh local bait, bottomless tea and coffee, and a rib fillet BBQ lunch served with salads. Your catch is cleaned and iced on board, ready to take home. BYO alcohol is welcome (no glass), and snacks and soft drinks are available for purchase on board. The Princess II's lower deck is laid out specifically with anglers in mind, giving everyone space to cast and move around without getting in each other's way. An upper deck lounge provides a comfortable spot to relax between bites or take in the surroundings of the Great Sandy Strait Biosphere. On-board facilities include a domestic toilet and hand basin. Pick-up options extend from Hervey Bay down toward Tin Can Bay, so visitors staying at various points along the Fraser Coast can join without needing to drive to the marina. The charter suits families, beginners, and seasoned anglers alike — the experienced crew are happy to assist anyone new to fishing. For those wanting to push the experience further, the operator also runs overnight reef fishing charters for smaller dedicated groups, with extended time on the water compared to a standard day trip. Overnight pricing is available on enquiry. Whether you're after a relaxed family day out or a dedicated reef fishing session, Princess II delivers a fully catered, all-inclusive experience on one of Queensland's most productive stretches of water.
