Ken Hamilton (our skipper) has loads of experience fishing the waters of the Great Barrier Reef Fishing, Capricorn Bunker Group, Shoalwater Bay, Island Head and Port Clinton areas, with over 25 years experience, catching fish is assured.
He is also a partner in the business, a very much hands on skipper and dedicated to the comfort and safety of all our guests.
