Operated by Epic Marine Charters · Geographe, Western Australia
Located in the heart of Western Australia's South West, Busselton and its Geographe Bay offer some of the most rewarding saltwater fishing waters along the coast. Epic Marine Charters stands out here with their premium fishing experience aboard the 15-meter vessel, Equador. Helmed by Steve Thomas, a seasoned captain with over three decades of charter expertise, this operation combines local knowledge with a commitment to visitor engagement and environmental respect.
The day begins at the Port Geographe Marina, where anglers gather early to board the Equador and set out across the deep blue waters of Geographe Bay. This bay is rich with fish species ranging from demersal bottom dwellers like southern blue groper and dhueys to pelagic species cruising near the surface. The region’s limestone reef structures and seagrass beds create important habitats that support a diverse marine ecosystem.
Onboard, the vessel is tailored for comfort and functionality—fully shaded decks, seating with climate control, and a small outdoor kitchen all encourage a social yet practical fishing outing. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced angler, Steve’s expert guidance ensures access to Busselton’s prime fishing spots while adhering to local bag limits and species regulations. You can expect to catch fresh fish for an onboard cooked meal, turning the trip into a full sensory adventure.
The experience is family-friendly, welcoming children from age 12 with adult supervision and even non-fishing observers. Beyond fishing, guests can swim and snorkel in the calm, clear waters, making for a versatile day of water activities.
