We had a great time!   Capt. Joe and his first mate Jennifer made it easy and fun ——-and turned us into real fisherman for a day!  That’s not easy since we’re both inexperienced fishermen.  But, you’d never know by the catch we hauled in!!    😎 Thanks!   

May 14, 2025

What a day! A beautiful sunrise turned into some lightning, a water spout, a beautiful rainbow and one heck of a rain storm. Captain Joe and his mate Travis found us some fantastic fishing and the black fin tuna of a lifetime (38 1/2”!) it was an absolutely incredible day. (We also got some mutton, yellowtail & rainbow runner). We will certainly be back again! Grateful for their incredible wealth of knowledge!

May 14, 2025

Thank you Joe and Jess!! What a great (and successful) day of fishing!

May 14, 2025

My son and husband had a an amazing experience with Capt. Joe and his First Mate Jessica. 10/10 recommend him for your next excursion. If we are lucky enough to come back for sure would use Coral Sea Charters. Thank you!!!

May 14, 2025

Cap. Joe and Jess took myself and 16 year old son and 10 year old out on 8 hour trip. Kids said it was the best fishing trip we have been on (and we have gone on alot). 1st mate Jess was fantastic with the kids and wass patient and explained everything they were doing. Did great with my daughter. Highly recommend for a family trip. Kids want to come back and go out again next year. Caught tuna, king mackerel, snapper, and bonito. Thanks!
