| MV Fascination Boat Overview: Voyages Australian Marine Experience operates the luxury vessel, 'Fascination' exclusively from Lizard Island, providing our guests with local knowledge and experience that is second to none.
A 51ft Riviera Platinum Model Flybridge Cruiser, 'Fascination' has a cruise speed of 20 knots and can take up to 10 passengers (including crew). Based at Lizard Island all year round, 'Fascination' is available for private fishing or diving and snorkelling charters.
Australia's internationally recognised and rewarded island resort, Lizard Island is located right on the Great Barrier Reef, fringed with coral reefs and 24 powdery white beaches. Outstanding in every respect, the unique pleasures of Lizard Island have created an idyllic retreat known as 'one of one'. Lizard is located just one hour's flight from Cairns International Airport in Tropical North Queensland. Each of the 40 beautifully appointed villas on Lizard Island is elegant and spacious, with either ocean or beach views.
The waters surrounding Lizard Island boast some of the most exciting fishing in the world. Pre-booking is desirable, particularly during the popular Marlin fishing season (August to December).
From August to December each year, Black Marlin, some weighing a massive 1,000 pounds are caught here. Please note to secure your booking during this busy period, a deposit will be required. Any cancellation within 30 days of your arrival date will result in the loss of this deposit.
In fact, due to our tag and release policy operating for the past ten years, your chances of catching a legendary ‘GRANDER' in these waters are probably better than anywhere else on earth! Whether you're a seasoned big game fisherman, or it's your first time in the chair, your Captain and crew will make your day an experience you will never forget.
The famous Lizard Island Classic is held in October, for seven days. To avoid disappointment, we recommended you book as early as possible for this time of year.
Diving & Snorkeling
With the outer reef less than one hour away, Lizard Island offers some of the world's best diving and snorkelling sites. Sensational diving opportunities abound in this Marine National Park, including the famous Cod Hole, where you'll come face to face with a massive, yet curious Potato Cod swimming right up to inspect you with child-like curiosity.
Whatever your level of experience, our professional crew are on hand to cater to your every need. So whether you're snorkelling or diving, it's sure to be an experience you'll remember for a lifetime.
If privacy is what you're looking for, then you simply must experience a private charter on board ‘Fascination'. With your own dive instructor or snorkel guide, we can take you to some wonderful locations.
If you'd like to try your hand at some bottom fishing, this can also be included in your day. All charters are extremely popular, so we strongly suggest you book ahead. |
