Abrolhos Islands Fishing Charters
For fishing enthusiasts and first-timers alike, we offer an unforgettable package to the Abrolhos Islands, located 59 kilometers off the coast of Geraldton and just a 4 hour trip from Perth. Pack your bags for the ultimate deep sea fishing charter adventure in this world-class destination.
An Amazing Deep Sea Fishing Experience
The Abrolhos Islands consist of 122 islands clustered into three main groups that stretch from north to south along the rich Leeuwin Current.
The Wallabi Group contains the site of the famous Batavia shipwreck, while the Easter Group lies directly in the middle, and the Pelsart Group forms the southernmost cluster. Nourished by a unique blend of tropical and temperate currents, these waters are heavily rich with marine life, making it a very popular sanctuary for beautiful protected coral reefs, unique birdwatching species, playful Western Australian sea lions, and the tasty red rock lobster.
Trolling the Reefs & Bottom Fishing
There is always some intense fishing action across our custom West Coast charter routes.
Unleash Your Inner Angler:
• Premium Reef Demersals: Drop a line using soft plastics or jig with your favorite lures to target high-quality table fish including baldchin groper, coral trout, pink snapper, spangled emperor, and the legendary West Australian dhufish.
• Exciting Topwater Action: Mix it up along the reef drop-offs with high-speed surface runs targeting hard-fighting pelagics like cobia, tuna, and Spanish mackerel.
• The Thrill of the Fight: Hooking impressive game fish alongside experienced local anglers provides a thrilling escape into paradise. With a cold beer in hand and the prospect of fighting big fish, this trip provides a fun, highly rewarding getaway.

Feedback From the Back Deck
Real feedback from local crews who have campaigned the Abrolhos Islands departing from Geraldton onboard Livewire.
"Departing Geraldton on Livewire for the Abrolhos is the only way to do it. The boat handles the crossing perfectly, and having that extra range meant we were hitting spots in the outer islands that others just can't reach. The Dhufish and Snapper action was relentless from the moment we dropped the first line."
"A legendary trip out of Geraldton to the Abrolhos. Livewire is an absolute weapon—plenty of deck space for our group, and the onboard amenities are perfect for a multi-day expedition. Being able to anchor up in a calm lagoon after a full day of landing trophy fish was the highlight. Best local knowledge in the game."
