About



The Gorilla experience caters to the serious heavy tackle marlin fisherman in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Our skipper Brett Thomas and crew are seasoned professionals who are dedicated to finding and hooking some of the most impressive fish found in the ocean.

As a tag-and-release only boat, we are proud to be able to contribute to the sustainability of this valuable fishery.

Charter Options

Gorilla Game Fishing offers several options to cater to anglers keen to experience the excitement of fishing for Black Marlin.

Day Charters

You and up to three friends join Gorilla at Port Douglas for a full-day’s charter to nearby fishing grounds.

Overnight Charters

This option allows up to three anglers to stay on board Gorilla for up to five nights.

Mothershipping

This option allows up to four anglers to fish from Gorilla during the day then enjoy the evening aboard one of the many mother ships that are available during the heavy tackle season. (Please note that three months notice is required).

Sightseeing Cruises

You don’t have to go to Far North Queensland to enjoy a day aboard Gorilla. You and your friends or corporate colleagues join Gorilla at either Sydney or Pittwater for a day’s scenic cruise in some of the world’s most picturesque waterways. Contact Gorilla Game Fishing to discuss your requirements.

Availability

Gorilla is available for the Cairns Heavy Tackle Season between September and early December and for fishing or sightseeing cruises out of Sydney or Pittwater from mid-December to May.
