Services
Gavin Solly has been professionally fishing for 35 years: starting on prawn trawlers and eventually working as the marine engineer on a privately-owned yacht in Europe and the Caribbean. When moving to Kangaroo Island in 1999, he decided to start his own fishing operation and has been successful ever since.
At 65ft and 32 tonne this beauty is the ultimate offshore charter vessel, three steering stations, flybridge for an elevated viewing platform. Our 65ft West - coaster fibreglass vessel is anchored in our private marina in Western River and has immediate exclusive access to the deep and clean waters of Investigator Strait.
Whiting: most predominantly in January through to early May but can be found all year round in the right spots. All bait, tackle, rods and reels are on board, but you can bring your own equipment if you prefer. All rods and reels are supplied on a 'replace if lost or damaged' basis. Our fish cleaning facilities are available for customers staying with us at Western River Valley Cottages.
We now offer exclusive coastal scenic tours of the North Coast of Kangaroo Island from Western River. From the water you will experience the natural beauty of the island that is inaccessible by land. Kangaroo Island is home to world-renowned geology, untouched beaches, protected marine sanctuaries, habitat for native and endangered wildlife and therefore the jewel in the crown of South Australia's tourist destinations.
Our two cabins are both self-contained retreats located at the remote west end of Kangaroo Island within the spectacular scenery of the North Coast of Kangaroo Island, Althorpe Island, Wedge Island and the mainland. Wild animals and nature are right at our doorstep. The ultimate getaway nature experience.

If you want the best experience on a fishing charter Garry and Alex were amazing the Simplot and Drakes managers had a ball its one adventure I can tick off my bucket list and im not a fisherman but I enjoyed it.
They can bait your hooks and even take the fish off too and let's just say we all went home with a Fantastic feed of fish.

Gavin is a very professional charter operator.
Ten guys out fishing, had an unforgettable experience with over 200kg of fish caught in one day.
Accomadation is good with great views & 15min drive down to private marina. We where on the water & fishing within half hour. That's well organised . Thanks again & highly recommended, money well spent.

Have been over to the island many many times, all ways an adventure with Gavin, Candy and Dylan, the best fishing charter I’ve been on to date, the massive range of fish being caught keeps me coming back not to mention the hospitality that Gavin provides is just a bonus that makes the trip so much more worth it. 5 stars every day of the week my friends!
