Customers are able to cruise quickly and comfortably to the best spots in Dave's seven metre purpose-built twin engine Centre Cab, which can cruise to the reef at an easy 30 knots. Centre Cabs are true fishing platforms and Dave's customers enjoy the full walk around deck when the fight is on with the more persistent fish. The boat is surveyed to 50 nautical miles for 6 people plus the skipper.

Dave Groombridge has established a strong reputation in Townsville for his ability to consistently put customers onto quality fish. Go to the pictures page for just a snapshot of Dave's recent captures.

Dave is one of those rare charter operators who loves his job so much he actually goes fishing on his days off!

For more than 27 years Dave has fished commercially from the Southern Ocean to the Timor Sea. He has fished for everything from crays to sharks. He has drop lined and long lined. Wherever he has lived, he has fished for pleasure and learnt just about everything there is to know about the habits and habitats of fish.
