Joysway Fishing Surfer Bait Boat with Fish Finder

From $1,999.00 AUD — up to $2,299.00 AUD

The Joysway Fishing Surfer Bait Boat with Fish Finder FP3251V2F takes RC bait boat fishing to the next level. It does everything the standard model does — delivering your line, hook, and bait up to 500 metres offshore — but adds a Toslon TF520 colour fish finder so you can see exactly what's beneath the boat before you drop.

Built with twin brushless motors, GPS navigation, and a self-righting hull, the Fishing Surfer handles Australian beach conditions including moderate surf up to 1 metre. Whether you're hunting snapper over reef, targeting mulloway in gutters, or searching for tailor schools off the beach, the fish finder shows you where to drop — no more guessing.

Key features

Toslon TF520 Colour Fish Finder

See bottom contours, structure, and fish targets in real-time on the handheld colour display. The 4.3-inch sunlight-readable screen shows depth to 30 metres with clear fish arch identification. Know exactly what's below before releasing your bait.

500-Metre Range

Deploy bait far beyond casting distance. The 2.4GHz radio system maintains reliable contact up to 500 metres from shore.

GPS with One-Button Return

Save up to 4 fishing spots and return to them with precision. If you lose signal, the boat automatically navigates back to its launch point.

Self-Righting Hull

Handles waves up to 1 metre confidently. If it capsizes, it rights itself automatically and keeps going. Watertight hatch protects all electronics.

Twin Brushless Motors

Reaches speeds up to 3 metres per second (approximately 11 km/h). Enough power to punch through surf and wind chop.

45-Minute Runtime

The 9.6V 16.2Ah LiFePo battery provides approximately 45 minutes of continuous use - enough for around 14 bait drops within 200 metres.

LED Navigation Lights

Front and rear LEDs allow you to track the boat in low light conditions. Built-in low-voltage warning alerts you when to bring it back.

Dual Bait Release

Two radio-controlled release points let you position bait and hooks exactly where you want them.

Frequently asked questions

What fish can I catch with the Fishing Surfer?
Any species you'd target from the beach. Australian anglers commonly use it for snapper, tailor, mulloway (jewfish), sharks, tuna, and kingfish. The fish finder helps you put bait in the right spot.
How far can it actually go?
The radio range is 500 metres. The fish finder display receives signal up to 300 metres. In practice, most anglers drop baits between 200-400 metres out - well within both ranges.
Will it handle Australian beach surf?
Yes, it's designed for surf conditions up to 1 metre wave height. The self-righting hull recovers automatically if a wave flips it. In very rough conditions (1.5m+), it's better to wait for calmer weather.
How deep can the fish finder read?
The Toslon TF520 reads to 30 metres depth, which covers the vast majority of beach and estuary fishing scenarios in Australia.
Is the fish finder hard to read?
No. The 4.3-inch colour screen is designed to be sunlight-readable with clear graphics. Fish show as arches, structure shows as irregular bottom, and depth is displayed numerically. Most people understand the basics within a few sessions.
Can I retrofit a fish finder to the standard model?
Yes. If you already own the standard Fishing Surfer, you can purchase and install a Toslon TF520 fish finder separately.
Do I need a licence to use it?
No. Unlike fishing drones, RC bait boats don't fall under CASA regulations. You can use it anywhere you're legally allowed to fish.
Is it hard to learn?
No. Most people are confident with the boat controls after a few practice runs, and the fish finder is intuitive to read. The GPS return function is a safety net - if you get disoriented, press the button and it comes back.
How long does the battery last?
Approximately 45 minutes of continuous use. The fish finder runs off the main boat battery, so there's nothing extra to charge.
