A Lifetime on the Water

I am the owner and operator of Akula Sportfishing, and I have devoted over 30 years of my life to establishing my business around boats, the ocean, and the thrill of the hunt. I started fishing out of Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, and then years of experience eventually led me to the north, where the Great Barrier Reef provides some of the most thrilling marine fishing ever.

That experience and passion drive every one of our trips.

Reef structure, tides, current motions, and seasonal variations, we are always considerate about every factor that should be the best for fishing conditions.
