DESTINATIONS

Where Shore Thing Takes You

Shore Thing runs charters along Australia’s east coast, from Sydney Harbour to the Great Barrier Reef. Cruise past the Opera House aboard Shore Thing 115, or head north to the Gold Coast and Whitsundays for warmer water and quieter anchorages.

Chase marlin off the Great Barrier Reef aboard Shore Thing 58, explore Brisbane’s waterways, or island-hop through the Whitsundays. Every charter is built around where you want to go and what you want to do when you get there — day trip, overnight stay, or serious offshore fishing.

SYDNEY

Sydney Harbour is where it starts. Harbour highlights: Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Fort Denison, Taronga Zoo, Shark Island, Watsons Bay, Manly, Kirribilli House. The most famous harbour in the world, seen from your own deck.
Aerial view of a calm bay at sunset with numerous boats anchored in the water, forested coastline, and distant hills under an orange sky.

PITTWATER & HAWKESBURY

An hour north of Sydney, and a different kind of water. Pittwater and the Hawkesbury River give you sheltered bays, quiet anchorages, and none of the harbour traffic.
Aerial view of a river mouth meeting the ocean, with breakwaters on each side, grassy land, scattered trees, a lighthouse, and a partly cloudy sky above.

NEWCASTLE & PORT STEPHENS

North of Sydney on the run up the coast. Port Stephens has one of the largest wild dolphin populations in Australia, plus sheltered bays and the Stockton sand dunes right on the water.
Aerial view of a sandy beach with turquoise waves, bordered by dense green forest under a partly cloudy sky.

FRASER ISLAND

Fraser Island (K'gari) runs 120km off the Queensland coast — the world's largest sand island, with rainforest growing straight out of the dunes and freshwater lakes clear enough to see the bottom.
Aerial view of a city skyline with tall modern buildings along a sandy beach at sunrise, with gentle waves and clear blue water in the foreground.

GOLD COAST

Broadwater, canals, and open beach, all in one trip. The Gold Coast gives you sheltered water for cruising and open water for fishing, without the crowds you'd expect this close to the city.
A city skyline at dusk with a brightly lit bridge spanning a river, colorful lights reflecting on the water, and tall buildings in the background under a cloudy sky.

BRISBANE

Brisbane River out to Moreton Bay. A working city with a proper river, island anchorages twenty minutes offshore, and a subtropical climate that means you can charter here any season.
Aerial view of a turquoise sea with visible shipwrecks near a sandy beach bordered by dense green forest under a partly cloudy sky.

TANGALOOMA & MORETON BAY

Moreton Island sits just off Brisbane, with sandbanks, dolphins, and the Tangalooma wrecks to snorkel around. Shallow, calm water makes it an easy day trip or an overnight stop on the way north.
Aerial view of a tropical beach with turquoise water, white sandbanks, and lush green hills under a clear blue sky.

WHITSUNDAYS

74 islands, white sand, and some of the best anchorages on the east coast. Built for island-hopping — snorkel one bay, anchor overnight in the next, wake up somewhere different each day.
A winding road runs along a lush green coastline with clear turquoise water, rocky shorelines, and dense forest beside the ocean.

CAIRNS

Cairns is the gateway to the outer reef. Tropical water, warm year-round, with some of the best game fishing in the country a short run offshore.
Scenic view of a tropical beach with turquoise water, white sand, palm trees, and distant green mountains under a blue sky. Sailboats are visible on the water.

PORT DOUGLAS

North of Cairns, closer to the outer reef grounds. Port Douglas runs day charters and game fishing year-round, with less transit time to open water than you get further south.
Aerial view of boats floating where deep blue ocean meets vibrant coral reef, highlighting the boundary between deeper and shallower water.

GREAT BARRIER REEF

The reef speaks for itself. Clear water, coral, and fishing grounds most people never get close to.

LIZARD ISLAND

Off Cairns, out past the outer reef — Lizard Island is where the serious game fishing happens. This is black marlin water, some of the best in the world.
