Our Guides:
Our guides have many many years combined fishing experience in the Northern Territory, and have a passion for fishing and want to share their knowledge and experience with you! Each of our guides hold tickets from a Master 5 to Coxswain, all are fully licensed and accredited tour operators, with current first aid qualifications so you can rest assured that you are in the best hands possible. Our guides will be only too pleased to take photographs of your catch to remember this rewarding and unique opportunity to fish the waters of the Northern Territory.
The Equipment & Boats:
You will fish using our Shimano rods with Shimano reels and braid lines. We cater for amateur fishermen as well as top level experienced anglers. Once Government controlled bag-limits are neared we encourage the use of catch-and-release techniques on our tours. Our boats are 6.51m Oceanmaster surveyed vessels; they are custom built and very stable, with the softest and smoothest ride in aluminium. All boats carry satellite phones for your safety and have full canopies to keep you sheltered from the hot sun. We use environmentally friendly Suzuki 250hp 4-stroke outboard motors.
We have a minimum number of two people per charter and a maximum of four clients per boat, but can also accommodate larger groups as we have more than one boat in operation.
