Gold Coast fishing charters range in price from $90-$140 AUD for a half day trip (five hours) or $110-$200 AUD for a full day trip (nine hours).
For most people it appears that price speaks loudest when it comes to choosing a Gold Coast fishing charter operator. However it is important to get clear about what you specifically are getting from one operator to the next.
You may very well be bragging to family and friends about the great price you paid for a Gold Coast fishing charter. But think for a moment about your state of mind at the end of the day. What will speak loudest: the price you paid or the quality of lack there-of of your experience?
A low priced Gold Coast fishing charter may suit your budget. However it may not be to your liking if you end up on a small boat tossed by the waves and clinging for dear life, fishing over reefs that have been fished to death already, a boat captain who is still doing his on the job training and pretty ordinary food and drinks.
On the other hand, if you are prepared to spend a little more for your Gold Coast fishing charter it could mean that you have room to move on the boat and not be forever untangling fishing lines with that of others who are fishing, enjoy the comfort and safety of a larger fiberglass hulled boat, going further out to sea where fish tend to be larger and more plentiful, a seasoned captain who knows every reef and knows exactly how to read ocean currents and weather patterns, restaurant quality food and drinks and more.
Is it always true that you get what you pay for? Of course not. You can pay the extra dollars for a Gold Coast fishing charter thinking that you are getting a superior product and service only to find that you have been ripped off. As in all industries, "buyer beware" applies.
Okay so you have decided you want to take a Gold Coast fishing charter but you need some guidelines as to how to make the best choice of which company to go with. I want to share with you three practical steps that can help you. The first thing is to clearly decide what is most important to you. Is fishing itself, the #1 reason for going out on the ocean? Is it the opportunity to socialize and bond with the group? Is it avoidance of getting sea sick and being as comfortable as possible? The second step is to do your due diligence in comparing what's on offer by several Gold Coast fishing charter companies. Dont be afraid to ask lots of specific questions. Reputable companies have nothing to hide. Finally, research social proof. Go online and find out what others are saying about the Gold Coast fishing charter operators that you have already contacted.
