Booked a half day charter with my wife and workmate, best decision of the weekend. The willfish boat is ultra modern and kitted out perfectly for chartering, the sound system has to be heard to be believed.
Will's knowledge of the fishing spots was awesome and the refreshments provided were top class. We caught a bunch of fish including a nice longfin tuna, a coral trout and heaps of snapper.
We will return next time for sure.

Went fishing with Will on the 21st Sep. Fishing was really slow but Will kept moving trying to catch something. Ended up with 1 small Sweetlip and 2 Tuna which was disappointing but that is why they call it fishing not catching!
The boat was comfortable and made good time between spots.
The really disappointing part of the trip was the carry on from Will when some tackle was lost, we only lost 4 sinkers and hooks plus 1 lure all day between 2 people.
Every time something was lost he would tell you how much it cost and would carry on for a few minutes about it.
At $300 per person I would of

Took my wife and daughter on a half day test drive fishing with Willfish in the Whitsundays.. Will took us out to some beautiful spots the girls liked. He also was very helpful setting up their fishing gear and showing them the tricks of the trade. A beautiful time spent on the water with the family, a great dinner to bring home and great memory. Will come back for a full day soon! Ward, Loraine and Wenonah.

Thanks Will and Louis for a cracking day half days fishing aboard Willfish. Had some perfect conditions and the boys were able to take us wide. Boat was smooth, quiet and fast and got to the spots quick to give us plenty of fishing time. We landed a couple of big cobia and heaps of other mixed reefies as well as being busted up by some other big fish, one bending the jig it was hooked on. Loved that Will and Louis were willing to let us all have a go at jigging and bait fishing and showed us different techniques. Sore arms the days after for us all was a good sign we had a good days fishing. Cheers

Fantastic morning out fishing for our family of 5 with Will and Louie. We caught about 130 fish between us and kept 75 whiting for dinner tonight!! Can't recommend highly enough especially as it was the first time fishing for the girls. Great boat, lots of snacks and very helpful hosts! Ps Just don't take bananas on board as apparently they're bad luck!
