About

Absolute Ocean Charters is a small family owned and operated business. Owners Michael (Mick) and Kelly Woodley started the business in 2009 and have over 30yrs experience working on the local Broome and Kimberley waters.

Nine times out of ten Mick will be the one welcoming you aboard, while Kelly will be the one taking your booking over the phone. They have great knowledge of the ocean and take pride in showing their guests the natural wonders that are in their backyard.

AOC acknowledges that our operations take place on the traditional land and seas of the Yawuru people and we pay our respects to the elders past, present and emerging.

Absolute Ocean Charters Team
They have a love for the ocean and have kept the same motto since day 1

‘We are prepared to travel the extra mile to make your experience a more memorable one!’

The ‘Ocean is Yours’ is often cited by Mick and Kelly. In other words, we must look after the ocean, care for and nurture the ocean and all things living in this amazing eco system. Yet, the ocean is yours to also enjoy, revel in and be amazed by its charm and beauty. AOC was founded with a basis of utmost respect for the ocean and for our experiences with it.

Absolute Ocean Charters is Broome’s longest operating family owned marine and land-based charter company, specialising in reef fishing,  whale watching and eco wildlife charter. 

AOC has now received Green Travel Leader status in 2023, and being recognised for 10yrs of continued Ecotourism Australia certification is something the company is very proud of, and is a testament to their dedication to excellence in sustainable tourism experiences. Whichever Absolute Ocean Charter’s adventure you choose, you can be confident you are in the best hands with the most experienced crew!
