Meet Josh
YOUR CHARTER.
YOUR BOAT.
JOSH AT THE HELM.
Six Again Sportsfishing is operated by former professional rugby league player Josh Dugan. After a career shaped by preparation, pressure and performance, Josh is bringing that same focus to a more personal experience on the water.
Each Six Again charter is hosted directly by Josh, with room for up to three guests on most charters.
After 215 first-grade games for the Raiders, Dragons and Sharks, plus NSW Origin and a World Cup with the Kangaroos, Josh swapped the footy field for the rivers and lakes of Far North Queensland — putting that same focus toward barramundi, jacks and the trophy fish of Lake Tinaroo.

Our Approach
Built Around a Better Private Charter
Six Again exists because a charter shouldn’t feel like a shared bus trip on the water. Every trip is private and hosted personally by Josh, with room for up to three guests on most charters. Built around the guest, not around filling a boat.
Guest reviews will appear here once Six Again has genuine, approved feedback to share.

Every Six Again charter is private, with no mixed groups. River & Estuary, Daintree & Murray, and Barron River & Trinity Inlet take up to three guests, with a third guest at an extra $300. Lake Tinaroo is capped at two guests, with no third-guest option.
Is the price per guest or per charter?
Each advertised price covers the whole charter for two guests. It is never charged per person. Where available, a third guest can join for a separate $300 fee.
How does the enquiry process work?
Submitting the enquiry form sends your preferred dates and details directly to Josh. It is an enquiry, not an automatic booking confirmation. Josh will respond to confirm availability and next steps.
Is a deposit required?
Josh will ask for a deposit to secure your booking. If you'd prefer, you're also welcome to pay the full charter price upfront.
What is the cancellation policy?
If a charter is cancelled by the guest with less than 5 days' notice before the charter date, the deposit is forfeited. If Josh needs to cancel or reschedule for any reason, you'll receive a full refund or an agreed alternative date.
