    If you want an enjoyable fishing experience this is the one!

    4 hours on January 14, 2025 • 2 adults

    My partner and I are lovers of fishing from Victoria and as it was our first time in Darwin we booked through fishing booker as we had no idea where to go or who to use! We had the most fantastic half day trip with an amazing captain! He was so knowledgeable about the fishing areas to use and taught us better techniques than I had been using for years! When we return we will 100% be going through Robert! A 10/10 experience that we will definitely be doing again! Thank you again for such a wonderful morning!

    Robbie is a gun

    4 hours on July 22, 2025 • 2 adults

    My boyfriend and I were total novices and Robbie was very patient showing us all there is to it on a few different rods. Talked to us about tides and tactics for catching fish and about different lures and stuff. We had a lot of fun chasing tuna around but ended up catching other fish in the end. Robbie is an absolute gem would recommend this charter to anyone!!!

    Had a great day light tackle fishing for barramundi in the Darwin Harbor area with Captain Rob. As someone who has fished all over the world, I highly recommend his Darwin area trips as a great way for a first time visitor to experience accessible world class barra fishing in Australia. Should you decide to keep your catch, Captain Rob can show you where it can be cooked to order at a local restaurant on the Stokes Hill Wharf.
