Multi-Day Reef Fishing Adventures on the Great Barrier Reef

Experience the ultimate offshore fishing adventure with Akula Sportfishing’s extended liveaboard mothership trips. Designed for serious anglers and adventure seekers, these multi-day reef fishing charters allow you to explore remote fishing grounds while enjoying comfort, flexibility, and expert guidance.

With a minimum stay of three nights, these trips go beyond standard day charters, giving you more time on the water, more opportunities to target prized species, and access to locations rarely fished.

A True Multi-Day Reef Fishing Experience

Our liveaboard mothership trips are fully customisable, allowing you to tailor your trip length and fishing style based on your goals. With a maximum of just five guests, you’ll enjoy a personalised, uncrowded experience focused entirely on fishing.

 

Operating from Port Douglas or Lizard Island, these extended trips take you deep into the Great Barrier Reef, where untouched reefs and productive grounds deliver exceptional fishing action.

Fishing Styles & Target Species

These trips are designed for anglers who want variety, challenge, and serious results. Depending on conditions and preferences, we focus on:

  • Topwater fishing for explosive surface strikes
  • Light game fishing for fast-paced action
  • Bottom fishing with a strong focus on jigging

Our experienced crew will help you adapt techniques throughout the trip to maximise success across different reef systems and conditions.

Comfort Onboard the Liveaboard Mothership

Your mothership serves as both your base and retreat after long days on the water. Everything is taken care of, so you can focus purely on fishing.

 

Included in your trip:

 

  • Comfortable liveaboard accommodation
  • All meals supplied throughout your stay
  • All fishing equipment provided
  • Professional crew and expert local knowledge

Whether you’re resting between sessions or preparing for the next day’s fishing, the mothership offers a relaxed and practical setup for extended offshore adventures.
