Luck. Where preparation & opportunity meet.
Over 30 years of experience and dedication chasing marlin on the East Coast of Australia Tim Dean has established himself as a top marlin skipper at the pinnacle of the sport. From Giant Black Marlin off Cairns in the north to striped marlin out of Port Stephens and Bermagui in the south, Intrepid Anglers from around the world put their faith in Tim and the crew aboard Calypso to hook their dream.
Cairns Australia is recognised world-wide as THE number one place to catch a 1000lb black marlin. The giant black marlin season runs annually from late September to early December when year after year the giant black marlin return to this area of the Great Barrier Reef to spawn. With multiple records and tournament wins Captain Tim Dean & Angler Adam Atkin weighed a 1280lb Black Marlin in the lizard Island tournament 2001. The largest Marlin of any kind weighed in a tournament in the world.

- Captain Tim Dean
Tim has been fishing the entire East Coast of Australia all of his life.
Starting out at the age of 5 years old with his father John fishing from small boats on the South Coast of Australia for the big yellowfin which used to frequent these waters Tim saw his future.
"I used to read all the books about the Giant Blacks off Cairns and the Blue Marlin stories from the faraway places like Port Stephens, I used to think these places were overseas and wanted to be in those places so much"
After completing an apprenticeship as an electrical mechanic in Sydney Tim undertook the Captain's Course. Utilising all the sea time he had logged on recreational and commercial fishing vessels Tim passed with flying colours and in the Summer of 1992 he set up the now infamous "Calypso Fishing Adventures" in Port Stephens New South Wales Australia
Working and fishing hard numerous Tournament Victories and Fishing accolades flowed the "Calypso's" way.
"I learnt at a very young age with my father that if you wanted to catch fish not only did you have to fish hard but preparation of tackle, bait (fresh is best), crew and of course boat was the key to a successful day. The old adage "if you had a line in the water you have a chance" saw us the first boat out and always the last to return each evening - and more often than not with a great catch of fish".
