About Us
Reality Fishing Charters is a family owned and operated business that has been operating in Queensland, Australia since 2001. It owns and operates the 25m liveaboard vessel, “Big Cat Reality”.
This unique vessel allows Reality Fishing Charters to offer a number of amazing experiences that take you to destinations that you can usually only dream about. “Big Cat Reality” offers “fishing trips of a lifetime!” out of Bundaberg Port Marina in Burnett Heads, Queensland.
We are now taking bookings for our 7 day Swains Fishing trips and 9 day Coral Sea trips (Cato, Wreck & Kenn Reefs).
Our experience in the marine industry includes running 10-70m vessels in the local area as well as up and down the Queensland coast for over 30 years.
In these roles we have gained extensive knowledge of operating large and complex vessels in many fields including:
- recreational fishing charters
- recreational dive charters
- commercial diving operations
- hydrographic surveying
- large passenger operations
This knowledge is vital in running a commercial operation in the industry today and ensures you get the best and safest experience.
