Fishing
Norseman. Long-established MV Norseman is one of the best game-fishing boats on the Great Barrier Reef. Novice and experienced anglers can head out to the reef's edge on a 60-foot, purpose-designed high-tech vessel to fish for large pelagic fish including Spanish mackerel, tuna, wahoo, and the elusive giant trevally. Closer in, find sea perch, mangrove Jack, red and spangled emperor, and coral trout. Closehaven Marina, Port St., Port Douglas, QLD, 4877. 07/4099-6668. www.mvnorseman.com.au.
