Great Barrier Reef Escape — Morris Escapes

Experience the Great Barrier Reef

Touch down by helicopter on a sand cay, where the Great Barrier Reef unfolds beneath crystal-clear water. Spend the day snorkelling vibrant reefs before stepping aboard a game boat to chase marlin across legendary offshore grounds. As the sun sets, return to the mothership for an unhurried evening of fine food, drinks and open skies, drifting gently at anchor before an overnight stay at sea. It’s a rare journey that moves effortlessly from reef to deep water, blending adventure, luxury and complete immersion in one extraordinary experience.

Two-Night Mother Ship Itinerary

Day One: Begin your adventure with a helicopter transfer from Cairns, touching down on either Agincourt Reef Pontoon, Moore Reef Pontoon, or Undine Sand Cay (seasonal). Arrive to the Great Barrier Reef and board Morris Nautical’s M.Y Flying Fish, the mother ship for your game fishing adventure. As the afternoon unfolds, cruise to nearby reef systems such as St Crispin or Opal Reef followed by sunset drinks and dinner onboard.

Day Two: Begin your day on the Great Barrier Reef dedicated to serious game fishing and reef exploration. Head out at first light to troll grounds including Baines Patches, Jenny Louise Shoal or Linden Bank, while M.Y Flying Fish remains close for comfort, meals and downtime. Between fishing sessions, return to M.Y Flying Fish for lunch, before an afternoon of fishing followed by a final overnight at sea and helicopter transfer back to the mainland the following morning.
