Hop aboard this fully restored 1985 Subsee Flat Bottom Bay boat, now better than ever after its 2015 upgrade. Based out of Cairns, River Rocket offers an intimate and exciting experience for up to six guests.
Portsmith sits on the sheltered shores of Trinity Inlet in Cairns, making it a convenient launch point for exploring Far North Queensland by water. With calm, navigable channels and quick access to open water, Portsmith boating charters are perfectly placed for everything from relaxed cruising to full-day adventures on the Coral Sea.
This working waterfront is known for its mangrove-lined creeks and tidal waterways, where skippers can thread through scenic backchannels like Smiths Creek and the wider inlet. It’s a great setting for nature-focused outings, photography, and smooth-water touring, with plenty to see around the busy port and surrounding wetlands.
Anglers rate the area for its productive estuary fishing. Structure-rich banks, drains, and rock bars hold favorites such as Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Fingermark, Queenfish, and Trevally. The protected waters make light‑tackle sessions and family-friendly trips a breeze, and local crews know how to work the tides to keep rods bending.
When the forecast lines up, Portsmith boating charters also use the inlet as a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Expect versatile itineraries that can include inshore reef edges and nearby islands like Fitzroy or Green Island, as well as leisurely coastal runs along Trinity Bay. Whether you’re after a guided charter, a private skippered trip, or a simple day out exploring sheltered waters, Portsmith delivers a practical, well-connected base for memorable time on the water.
