Experiences aboard IMPULSIVE
Fishing, diving and mothershipping travel with IMPULSIVE wherever she charters: the Whitsundays from October to June, Brisbane and Moreton Bay in February, Fiji from July to September and, from September 2027, Tropical North Queensland.
Two experiences belong to one place. Giant black marlin are found in Tropical North Queensland from September to December, and Fiji is where the surf is, with the WSL Fiji Pro back at Cloudbreak in 2027.
Every experience ends the same way: back aboard, with a chef-prepared dinner, sunset drinks on the aft deck and a crew of eight looking after the group.
Pick the line that sounds most like your group.
Choose an experience
A dedicated game boat with its own crew for the fishing, and IMPULSIVE for everything else. In Tropical North Queensland it comes into its own for the giant black marlin season.
From calm-water reef fishing with the family to bluewater sportfishing, with fishing for every level wherever IMPULSIVE charters.
The Black Marlin Capital of the World. Giant black marlin funnel along the Ribbon Reefs each spring, and every billfish is tagged and released.
Coming soon
From Blue Pearl Bay in the Whitsundays and the Tangalooma Wrecks to manta rays off Naviti in Fiji and the Cod Hole on the Ribbon Reefs.
Cloudbreak and Restaurants off Tavarua, two of the best-known reef breaks in the world, with the WSL Fiji Pro back at Cloudbreak in 2027.
Where you can do it
Mothershipping, fishing, diving and snorkelling are available wherever IMPULSIVE charters. Black marlin is Tropical North Queensland only, and surfing is at its best in Fiji.

Planning
Yes. Mothershipping, fishing, diving and snorkelling are available wherever IMPULSIVE charters. Black marlin is Tropical North Queensland only, from September to December, and surfing is at its best in Fiji, from July to September.
The Whitsundays from October to June, Brisbane and Moreton Bay in February, and Fiji from July to September. From September 2027, she debuts in Tropical North Queensland, departing Cairns or Port Douglas. The east coast is available on request.
Yes. Each day can be as active or as unhurried as the group prefers, and the crew plan around what everyone wants to do. In Tropical North Queensland, extended charters can combine marlin fishing with the northern Great Barrier Reef’s best diving and snorkelling at Lizard Island.
While the anglers are in the chair or the surfers are in the lineup, everyone else has the reef, the sea pool and the toys to themselves. Nobody waits on anybody.
No. Snorkelling and reef fishing need no experience. For scuba diving, let us know the group’s certification levels when you enquire and the program will be planned around them. Cloudbreak in Fiji is best suited to experienced surfers, with other breaks nearby for a wider range.
Every expedition is priced bespoke to each enquiry, covering the yacht, the game boat for the fishing days and the advance provisioning allowance. 2027 rates are available on application. Scuba diving, a second game boat, a chase boat and air transfers are optional extras.
Tell us your dates, your group and what you would like to do, and our charter manager will match the experience to where IMPULSIVE will be.
