Welcome Aboard Calypso Fishing Adventures
Calypso Fishing Adventures — proudly operating as Marlin Fishing Australia — delivers world-class offshore fishing experiences aboard the iconic Calypso, a 47-foot O’Brien built specifically for serious blue-water action.
From first-timers chasing a dream, to seasoned anglers ticking off bucket-list species, every single trip is run with professionalism, safety, and passion at the core.
More than the fishing
Each charter is about more than the fishing — it’s the stories told, the friendships made, and the memories that last a lifetime!
World-class Marlin Fishing from
Far North Queensland to Central NSW
We operate as a roving fishing operation, giving us the freedom to fish areas well beyond the reach of most charter operators. From the remote waters of Far North Queensland — including Cairns, Cooktown, and Lizard Island along the Ribbon Reefs section of the Great Barrier Reef — through to the relative hustle and bustle of New South Wales’ premier fishing grounds at Port Stephens, Calypso is built around chasing billfish during their peak seasons.
Across these locations, you’ll be targeting all species of billfish — including giant black marlin well in excess of 1,000 lb, juvenile and mid-range black marlin, striped marlin, and heavy-tackle blue marlin.
Led by Tim Dean, the crew can cater for every style of marlin fishing, including heavy tackle, light tackle, fly fishing, and spearfishing, tailoring each trip to suit both the angler and the fishery.
With decades of on-water experience, we are equally comfortable guiding a first-time anglers through their first billfish encounter or working alongside highly experienced anglers looking to refine techniques, target specific species, or fish at the highest level.
