Quality Liveaboard Charters

After years of working on liveaboard vessels, the couple focus on all the little things that matter when on an extended charter. They pride themselves with providing quality liveaboard charters, with comfortable beds, quality linen, freshly cooked wholesome meals and a relaxed atmosphere. No detail is overlooked.

Eclipse FNQ Charters also teams with highly experienced contract fishing guides, who are familiar with the fishing styles and techniques required for the region. All of our guides are not only professionals but they are also good company.

With over 20 years experience we are confident with what we do.

Bianca Berwick Skipper/Masterchef

Bianca has worked extensively around the world on numerous luxury yachts and larger commercial vessels as Skipper, Marine Engineer and Mate. She was introduced to the ocean at a very young age and it would be safe to say she has spent more of her life on water, than on land. She is your dedicated Skipper and will also be your onboard cook preparing fresh meals including your catch of the day. “You can’t come to an amazing destination like this and eat bad food!”

Joe Berwick Engineer/Skipper/Mud Crab Wrangler

Joe has a strong background in Barramundi Aquaculture and the commercial fishing industry. He grew up on a farm on the Daintree River, exploring the Great Barrier Reef. Joe is an experienced Engineer and knows the Eclipse and her fleet of tenders inside out and back to front. Joe is famous for his beach BBQs! “Every day is different, it could be the sea, the wind, the weather or the people, no two are the same. I’ve got a job I love and the best office in the world.”

Lee Hodgetts Fishing Guide

Lee is the owner of Weipa Sports Fishing, as well as being one of the guides. He leads the team with experience and enthusiasm, driving the commitment of providing guests with the very best possible fishing trip of a lifetime. As a guide and business owner, Lee has a total commitment to customer service. He lives and breathes fishing and when he isn’t working, he’s out fishing himself. He will do his very best to ensure you land the big one.

Dave Bradley Fishing Guide

Dave Bradley has drawn his guiding experience from many years of guiding clients in a multitude of waters, both inshore flats and offshore Marlin and GT work. He has guided all over Queensland, north into PNG and other numerous extended trips across the Pacific and the Carribean. Searching for new waters and improving techniques and doing it with a casual yet professional attitude, is his approach to guiding.
