Ultimate Lady Charters

We’ve had so many people ask how to get in touch with Craig to ask how to commission and buy his art.

The answer is through his website: www.craigsmithstudio.com

Craig spent the week fishing aboard Shikari and will of course be inducted into the Cairns Game Fishing Hall of Fame tonight!!

We can’t wait to celebrate with him and you all!

OUR FINAL TOURNAMENT BAG SPONSOR — SEAPOWER

A big thank you to the team at Seapower as our final tournament bag sponsor for the 60th Anniversary Tournament. 🙌

Earlier this year I was reading about Seapower’s involvement in the re-power of Ultimate Lady, one of those boats that has become such a recognisable part of the Cairns marlin fleet.

(And yes, we’re going to claim ownership. Hey Tom lol.)

Sadly, Ultimate Lady won’t be back in Cairns this year for the 60th Anniversary, and she’ll certainly be one of those legendary boats that will be missed around Number 10 and Lizard.

It got me thinking, what are some of the iconic boats from the Cairns fleet that you’ll miss seeing this year?

Drop the names or a photo in the comments. There are plenty that have played a big part in the history of this fishery.

A huge thank you again to Marco and Brad and the Seapower team who joins with, Onboard and Cairns SimTrans representing the Mann Marine Engines brand for supporting the tournament and helping us *fill* those tournament bags.

She changed the game nearly 30 years ago, and she’s still doing it.
Ultimate Lady, the world’s first recreational composite wave piercer, continues to prove her worth on the global stage. From pioneering design to landing a Blue Marlin World Cup-winning catch in Tahiti, this 28m icon remains as capable as ever.
Some boats come and go. Others become legends.
