If you’re searching for the ultimate fishing holiday in Western Australia, nothing compares to a private live aboard fishing charter in WA. Combining luxury accommodation, world-class fishing grounds, expert local guides, and the freedom to explore remote waters, a live aboard charter delivers an unforgettable experience that simply isn’t possible on a standard day trip.
At Innkeeper Sport Fishing, every live aboard adventure is designed around your group, your fishing goals, and the incredible marine environment surrounding Exmouth and the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef. Whether your dream is landing a trophy blue marlin, battling giant trevally, or catching a fresh seafood dinner from pristine reef systems, a multi-day private charter offers endless opportunities.
Why Choose a Private Live Aboard Fishing Charter?
Unlike shared fishing charters, a private live aboard gives you complete flexibility.
Your itinerary isn’t dictated by strangers or fixed schedules. Instead, your experienced skipper tailors each day based on:
- Weather conditions
- Fish movements
- Your preferred target species
- Your group’s experience level
- Current fishing hotspots
This personalised approach means more fishing time, better opportunities, and a far more enjoyable experience.
Rather than racing back to port every afternoon, you’ll remain on the water, allowing you to reach remote fishing grounds that many anglers never experience.
Why Exmouth is One of Australia’s Premier Fishing Destinations
Exmouth has earned an international reputation among serious anglers.
Located on Western Australia’s North West Cape, it offers something few destinations can match:
- The continental shelf lies only a few kilometres offshore.
- The Ningaloo Reef provides protected waters and exceptional biodiversity.
- Offshore canyons attract pelagic game fish throughout the year.
- Numerous reef systems produce incredible sport and reef fishing.
The diversity means anglers can target multiple species during a single trip without travelling great distances.
From heavy tackle offshore adventures to exciting inshore casting sessions, Exmouth delivers fishing action across every style of angling.
Target Incredible Fish Species
One of the biggest advantages of a live aboard charter is the variety of species available.
Depending on the season and conditions, your adventure could include targeting:
- Blue Marlin
- Black Marlin
- Striped Marlin
- Sailfish
- Broadbill Swordfish
- Spearfish
- Giant Trevally
- Yellowfin Tuna
- Mahi Mahi
- Wahoo
- Spanish Mackerel
- Cobia
- Queenfish
- Amberjack
- Premium reef fish
Exmouth is one of the few locations in Australia where anglers have opportunities to encounter all six Australian billfish species.
Access Remote Fishing Grounds
One of the greatest benefits of a live aboard experience is access.
Instead of spending hours travelling to and from port every day, you’re already positioned close to productive fishing grounds when the action begins.
This allows you to:
- Fish sunrise and sunset bite periods
- Explore untouched reef systems
- Visit remote tropical islands
- Target offshore shelf species
- Enjoy quiet anchorages each evening
Many of these locations receive very little fishing pressure, creating exceptional opportunities for trophy catches.
