"Ticked so many boxes... I had so many firsts with them. Great crew, the best fishing I have ever seen, great meals and nothing was too much for them. Saw so much more than just fish. Whales, sea snakes, dolphins, turtles. A fishing trip that packed a punch!! Do yourself a favour and just do it."

"Just had the best trip ever - The live aboard Montebello’s Trip with Apache Charters. Brilliant Fishing 🎣. Matt really knows his stuff. The food was outstanding - Mark is sensational. Michelle’s catering kept us fully stocked with great quality and ample quantities. The only painful part was Gary the “deckies” jokes! Not really, he was great too. 10 mates/family members and a good ‘ring in’ and we all had a great time. Thanks heaps guys!"

"Just finished a 5 day tour with Apache off Shark Bay I caught a bucket load of fish including Red Emperor and Rankin Cod alongside a heap of Pinkies. The crew were great, first rate service and the food was great. Gary in particular provided expert advice and helped me greatly. Thank you for a fantastic time!"

"Its 10 years in a row for our staff Xmas party on the Lady Grace. Everyone looks forward to the river cruise every year and so easy to arrange. All catering is arranged by Apache all we have to do is show up at the jetty. Best thing no one can leave early so its really good idea for team building."
