Apache Charters

What a week. We caught a heap of good quality fish. The crew were accommodating and nothing was to much of an effort. Thanks for the best fishing trip I have ever been on.

Excellent team, reliable, professional, friendly

Perfect day for fishing leaving from Fremantle unfortunately that's as good as it got. Spent more time travelling from spot to spot looking for fish than we did fishing and when we did find a spot where the fish were biting and where most of the 8 fish were caught between 13 people (3 of those by one fisho) the skipper Phil decided that was not good and up we up rods again and moved on to another spot where the fish were not biting.Highlight of the day was the service from the deckhand and his hamburgers!I would not recommend this fishing charter out of Fremantle to anyone. They maybe better at it when they travel north.Glenn

Montebello Islands Fishing Charter.If you are looking for a “bucket list” fishing trip, then I cannot recommend enough, Apache Charters and their “live aboard 6 night charter” to the Montebello Islands, leaving from either Onslow or Exmouth.Their huge 65ft vessel “Lady Grace” is perfectly kitted out for an extended charter with several sleeping areas / bunks on deck, with more bunks on the flybridge and cabins below deck with ample room to spare for a group of 10-12 people along with the 3-man crew.Male and female toilets / showers with plenty of hot water allow for a clean-up every night after a hard day reeling in fish.Coral Trout, Spangled Emperor, Blue Bone (Tuskfish), Red Emperor, Long Nose Emperor, Spanish Mackerel, Rankin Cod, various Reds and the occasional Sailfish / Tuna are all on offer as well as a few surprises at some of the drops.With the added bonus of seeing lots of Whales breaching, Dolphins, Sea Snakes, Turtles, Sharks and awesome scenery, this is a truly amazing trip.On a day off from fishing (weather dependent and to give the arms a rest) we did some sight-seeing, snorkelling, swimming in the perfectly clear, sheltered bays and view the interesting history of the “Monties” using the large tender.We relaxed at night catching a few squid behind the boat while enjoying an ice cold beer and feasting on the freshest seafood tucker you can get. Take your own playlist on your phone / thumb drive if you wish.The fresh air and physical workout from the fishing ensures sleeping isn’t too difficult.The crew of Matt (Skipper), Mark (5 Star Chef / Deckie) and “Nice One” Gary (Super Deckie) ensured the trip was safe, enjoyable, interesting, informative and last but no means least, about catching (and eating) fish.Perfect!Thanks again to Matt, Mark and Gary.

Matt on the lady grace really knew what he was doing. No mucking around. Powered straight out past Rottnest island.It was my first charter and the boat caught its load easily before lunchtime. Caught an awesome grey banded cod in a hundred and sixty meters of water.Top work.Will recommend.

I had the pleasure of joining Matt, Jack, and Mark on a recent trip to Montebellos islands after experience with the charter group in Fremantle and the Abrolhos islands.My high hopes were not disappointed, and the trip lived up to nearly every expectation I had, with the only exception being the windy weather- the only thing out of anyone's hands.To his credit, Matt was quick to come up with other options for the days when the wind was up which kept us all happy and amused while keeping safety a priority. He put us on the fish, and worked hard to make sure everyone enjoyed their time and their catch, which was always handled quickly and professionally by the crew.Jack did an excellent job with all things deck related, and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things fishing, jigging, trolling and knots. Nothing was too much effort and he happily helped us all out with whatever was needed.Mark kept us all well fed and a little spoiled in my opinion, with no shortage of delicious meals each morning, noon, and night, along with sashimi, pickled fish dishes and platters each day during happy hour".Along with the guys on the boat

Did a Shark Bay Charter and enjoyed it thoroughly. Can't speak highly enough of Mat and the crew. Excellent food and heaps of fish! Been with quite a few other charter companies at Abrolhos and Monties, but Apache seem to tick all the boxes.

This was our second end of year Christmas Function" on the Lady Grace. Everybody enjoyed themselves and the catering was fantastic. We would highly recommend these guys for any function"
