Aquatic Blue Charters
If you are planning a stay in one of the fine Port Macquarie hotels while on holiday, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of one of the area’s main tourist attractions, which is Aquatic Blue Charters. You may be wondering just how a boat charter service could manage to be a highly popular place for both visitors and locals to enjoy. Well, Aquatic Blue Charters is a rather different sort of charter service. If you have ever had the desire to go whale watching, do they have a boat trip for you!
The boat used for the trip is actually called the “Whale Watcher”, and is a beautiful 50 foot catamaran that can hold 46 whale-curious passengers. You can move freely around the decks, one a wrap around deck that goes all the way around the boat, an “undercover” deck, and the other located at the top of the boat. The view is excellent from the top deck! Or, you can make yourself comfortable inside the cabin, where you can still observe all the action from the windows which go all the way around it.
You and your companions will also enjoy the various accoutrements available on the Whale Watcher. There is a surround sound system for music while you skim across the water, and a microphone for any announcements that need to be made along the way. There are toilet facilities, and also a place for barbecuing.
You are guaranteed to see whales on a Whale Watcher cruise! If you don’t, you will be given a free ticket. This is the best and safest way for you and your family or other companions to see the magnificent creature called the whale up close and personal. The cruise leaders have fifteen years experience in taking groups out to see the whales, so you will definitely be in good hands. People of all ages are welcome to make the trip.
Aquatic Blue Charters also offers fishing charters for tourists to Port Macquarie NSW. These include deep sea reef fishing, and game fishing. Deep sea reef fishing can be experienced on a 6 hour “public” charter with a maximum of fourteen people fishing. Tackle and equipment are supplied, and you will be using Shimano tackle along with the very latest in electronic equipment. You will not need a fishing license, and it doesn’t matter whether or not you have fishing experience or not.
Since the charter boat operates on a shared catch basis, you will still receive the best part about a day’s fishing, which is fresh fish! They will be cleaned and prepared for you just the way you enjoy them by the boat crew. There are special fees for senior citizens, students, those who are backpackers, children who are from 10 to 14 years of age, and for those who want to go on the boat, but prefer not to fish. The price you pay will include refreshments during the 6 hour trip
You can also reserve the 50 foot catamaran for a private fishing charter, if you like. This would be ideal if by chance you are a part of a large group that is travelling together. You may choose from either the game fishing or the deep sea reef fishing charters. Do be aware that since these are private charters, the price you pay will reflect this.
Enjoy a day out on the water that you won’t soon forget with Aquatic Blue Charters!

We are staying at Port on the evening of the 29th Dec for one night. I am enquiring on fishing charters fo the morning of the 30th Dec for myself and my two boys (10 & 12) for half a day and possibly wife and daughter (6) if the charter suits. The boys enjoy fishing but are used to the small stuff inside. Can you advise price , availability ,times,inclusions (food & drink etc) and location from where you may set off.
