Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very disappointing day, a lot of very small fish caught and released. I dont think the skipper tried very hard to put his customers onto good reef fishing. However his little female deck hand worked her butt off.

Was a great day out with skipper mark and the female deckie (sorry I can’t remember her name - but she worked really hard the whole time gutting fish helping my son and various others de hook fish, chopping sardines for bait etc and was really helpful )
No frills no fuss but good fishing (your mileage may vary) and lovely easygoing people to deal with. I wanted to take out modest catch home on the plane and they were super helpful to facilitate this

Went on this charter with 2 mates, who are both mad keen fishermen. Dropped anchor at the first spot, my mates thought the skipper would normally spend about 10 mins. ensuring he was in the exact spot he wanted....didn't happen. Fishing was very quiet. Tried another spot. Again very quiet. Then lo and behold, we lost the anchor. My mates were amazed there wasn't a backup anchor on board. The skipper thought we should try drift fishing, which was pretty well a waste of time. Main thing caught was snags. Returned to port an hour early. Expected to hear from the company offering a partial refund. Again, didn't happen. Perhaps it was just an off day. Pretty hard to recommend on my experience.

Booked this charter after a couple of other companies didn’t even answer our enquires. We did a half day afternoon charter. The skipper and deckie were great, the deckie never stopped working.
Very comfortable boat for fishing , good shade, clean easy access toilet. Fishing wasn’t going off but we caught a good snapper and a couple of other ‘non keepers’. Would recommend!

Myself and a few others went on a 5 hour Equinox fishing charter with Captain Mark and Deckhand James.

We all had a great time! Mark was funny, accommodating and happy to have chats and discuss all things Darwin and fishing.

Everything was clean and those who needed help baiting their hooks had nothing to worry about as James was right there to help (or do it for them!). The food was great as well.

Highly recommend.

Thanks to Skipper Mick and Deckie Sean, had a fantastic day fishing, even the seas were quite calm. It makes a huge difference when you have nice guys taking care of us to make sure we have a great day.
Food was great and very fresh and tasty.
Caught a nice amount of fish so everyone could take some home and very impressed with the guys cleaning up rubbish floating on the water. Great job guys and again thanks.
