Barra Private Tours is proud to be based in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, offering tailored private charters for individuals or corporate groups. Our knowledgeable captain has been a fishing enthusiast for many years and ensures that you have the optimal time out on the water.

Our 6.1 m Australian Master Marine is the perfect vessel for taking you out on the area's remarkable rivers and coastal creeks, thanks to its 250 HP outboard engine and cutting-edge navigational equipment. Through the LiveScope, we are able to detect fish and check their movement. Accommodating up to four passengers comfortably, it is sure to provide an excellent adventure.

We offer barramundi or reef fishing. Barramundi fishing is prioritized when conditions allow; Our experienced fishing guides are always more than happy to share their knowledge on the best places to catch Barramundi. Otherwise, reef fishing with bait is offered.

All you have to bring is your own sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses - and don't forget to bring your own beer if you wish! You will have access to top-notch light tackle and a variety of lures. Once you have successfully reeled in your catch, your guide will be happy to clean and fillet your fish to bring home.

We would be delighted to have you join us for a truly personalized and unique fishing experience. Book your trip with Barra Private Tours today - you will not be disappointed!

We are all very novice anglers but wanted to experience fishing as a family and were blown away from start to finish about everything. It is EXACTLY as advertised but the captain made it for us. So helpful, considerate and extremely patient. We took 5 different species back home for the BBQ which were all prepared on the boat. A family memory we will have for a very long time. Thank you!!

It was our absolute pleasure hosting your family's birthday celebration! We understand you were hoping for a fantastic catch for your BBQ, despite having limited fishing experience. We're thrilled that even as novice anglers, you managed to reel in 8 different species, including two impressive jewfish, all within a half-day charter. Creating lasting family memories with breathtaking ocean views is what we strive for – we're so happy we could make this happen for you!

Great charter with a very experienced captain. Tom was very polite & showed all of us a great time. He was patient and showed us all everything that Corroboree Billabong has to offer. Food and drinks were plentiful. We even fed some wild eagle chick's with some nice Tarpon. Overall a fantastic day on the water.

Thanks so much for the amazing review! We're so glad you and your group had such a fantastic time with Captain Tom on the Corroboree Billabong charter. It sounds like he went above and beyond – we really appreciate you mentioning his politeness and patience, and how much everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. Feeding the eagle chicks with Tarpon? That's a truly memorable experience! We hope to see you back on the water with us again soon.
