Not repeatable

1/2 Day Private Charter up to 2 ppl2 voksne

At $500 per couple this half day fishing trip started at 11:00 am in Blistering Darwin sun No overhead canopy. Two seats for four passengers. No life jackets or discussion about safety. Bone shattering speed across Darwin’s enormous Harbour. No live bait, only lures. Refreshment were cold soft drinks and small cheap packet type chips. Prior texts and emails made reference to the expectation of “tips”.Two passengers were ladies but there was never any mention of toilet stops during the half day fishing trip. The four paying passengers caught three undersized fish between them, none were barramundi And I was asked for a recommendartion ?? Kevin

Svar fra charteroperatøren

Hi Kevin, We have sent you a liability form for you to read and sign before the tour, about the tour condition and what to expect during the tour. This indicates that you are boarding a 6.1-meter charter fishing vessel to fish in open water, this can be water spray, and other weather conditions, motion sickness, pitching and rolling, slippery and wet decks and surfaces. But also make you aware of Sun exposure and what to wear during the trip for sun protection. We precise you also that no toilet is onboard, and no stop or landing are allowed or covered by insurance during the 4hrs trip. We precise you that life jackets are not compulsory to wear in Northern Territory but can be request to the captain and also precise that a canopy can be installed after request of any passenger to the captain. This Form also request your medical conditions or disabilities so we can further assist or maybe not recommend our tour for certain cases. The boat has four seats, two in the front and two next to the captain. To finish, you forgot to mention in your review that captain caught a barramundi for you and show you how and exactly where to cast to catch them. But I believe that a negative attitude cannot help to have a better trip. If any of your complain has been told directly to the captain during the tour, I am sure that he would do anything to make you happy and rectified the situation.

    Barra Thursday birthday adventure

    Heldagstur Privat fisketur - Avsidesliggende2 voksne

    Floran was super knowledgeable with the fishing location and local knowledge for the day. The trip was planned in the dry season so conditions were hard for the bigger Barra but we still walked away catching 29 Barra 2 Saratoga and 3 catfish with a blistering pace on the morning bite including a triple hook up with us encouraging Floran to get in on the action also. Plenty of wildlife was seen on the Mary river with photo ops of large crocodile, buffalo, native birds and amazing landscapes.

    Hi Jarryd! 🎣🎂 Thank you so much for this amazing 5-star review – we’re absolutely stoked we could be part of your birthday adventure! Catching 29 barra plus saratoga and catfish – what an incredible haul, especially during the dry season! That blistering morning bite and triple hook-up sounds legendary! We’ll pass on all your wonderful compliments to Floran – he loves sharing his local knowledge and making every trip special. Seeing all that amazing wildlife on the Mary River was the perfect cherry on top for your birthday celebrations! It was such a pleasure hosting you, and we hope this birthday trip is one you’ll never forget – can’t wait to welcome you back for more fishing action soon! Cheers, Barra Private Tours

    Great day!

    Darwin 4 timer Privat fisketur4 voksne2 barn

    Had a great 4hr trip with Tom. Unfortunately didn’t manage to land any fish, but saw some amazing queenies, barra, rays, a small shark and even a croc! My 10yo daughter broke her arm a few days before the trip, but Tom helped her and had her casting and enjoying the trip! Would definitely recommend!

No pushing, no stress — and when the fish are on, that’s definitely a big bonus! 😂 Huge credit to Tom for helping your daughter cast and have a great time despite her arm — that’s what it’s all about! So glad you got to see plenty of wildlife too — queenies, barra, rays, shark AND a croc! What a day. Thanks for the recommendation — we’d love to have you all back soon! 🐟

    Fantastic trip

    Darwin 4 timer Privat fisketur4 voksne

    Flo was on time, very accommodating and always helpful,…fantastic skipper. Even though we didn’t have any success with Barra, he showed us what to do and how to do it…hopefully better luck next time. We then went reef fishing and bagged out on red snapper. He kept moving us around to get different spots to get species which was great, Cooked some of the snapper last night and it was superb. Thank you for a fabulous day Flo,,,much appreciated by us all !

    Hi Michael! Thank you so much for this wonderful 5-star review 😊 It was a pleasure having you on board! Even though the Barra were being shy, I’m stoked you still had a great day and got stuck into some great Red Snapper—they really do taste amazing fresh off the water! Hope to have you back out again soon, and we’ll definitely chase those Barra next time. Cheers!

    Great charter

    Darwin 4 timer Privat fisketur4 voksne

    We had a brilliant charter and although there is never a guarantee of catching any fish Flo persisted with change through the trip doing his best to ensure we ended up with the best return possible. We were fortunate enough to bag a good catch. Would highly recomend giving it a go 🎣👍
