Highlights: The waters of the Tasman Peninsula are famous around Australia as home to some of the best fishing anywhere. In season, the big game fishing is awesome. For a more leisurely approach, drop a line in anywhere and you have an excellent chance of landing a decent Flathead, Australian Salmon, escaped Atlantic Salmon or Trumpeter.

Personalised Sea Charters specialise in fishing trips for groups of 1-5 and will take you game, deep sea, reef or bay fishing. The boat leaves from either Port Arthur or Eaglehawk Neck. Stuart will provide you with fishing gear and even clean your catch for you!

Boating
The waters off Pirates Bay, Fortescue Bay, Port Arthur and the Tasman Sea are popular boating destinations because of the beauty of the area, the sheltered waters and good fishing. Visitors with boats can use the boat ramps at the Blowhole in Pirates Bay State Reserve and within the park at Fortescue Bay and Stewarts Bay State Reserve.

Vehicle access on beaches to launch and retrieve boats is not permitted within the Tasman National Park. Anchorages are available in Fortescue Bay, Stewarts Bay and Port Arthur when the conditions are favourable.

Sea kayaking and canoeing around the rugged cliffs of Tasman National Park is increasing in popularity. However, canoeists should be well-equipped and aware that sea conditions can change rapidly. There are few areas canoeists can reach safety should conditions deteriorate
