…Tim is the kind of young gun skipper that you want to jump on board with.
He works hard to put you on the fish and is not happy until you’ve had a great day on the water.
He’s knowledgable and amiable, and to top it all off, he’s one heck of a fishy guy! — Kelly Dalling Fallon (Black Marlin Blog)
At GBR Sport Fishing Charters we want to make your trip with us, a great day on the water, and an unforgettable Bluewater fishing experience. Regardless of your level of angling experience, we aim to put you onto your bucket list fish!
Owner/Skipper Tim Sparks passion for fishing started as a youngster on the NSW south coast. And after a move to the fishing Mecca that is Cairns, he’s been lucky enough to be working in the industry ever since.
In 2015, after many years of working for other operators, Tim launched GBR Sport Fishing Charters Cairns in 2015 – his own charter fishing operation – to bring his passion and knowledge of fishing the Great Barrier Reef to his own guests.
