    Found plenty of fish

    Captain Jim found us plenty of fish. All eight guests caught at least two decent fish each. Whenever the bites went quiet Jim moved us to another productive location. Additionally Jim and his experienced deckhand Adrian attended to everyone constantly with re-baiting and untangling. A great day !!

    An Amazing Fishing Experience with Vincent!

    First of all, a big thank you to Vincent for taking us out on such a fantastic fishing trip on my birthday! We had a great time out on the water. Vincent took us to some excellent fishing spots, and we had plenty of bites throughout the trip – around 20 to 30 bites in just three hours! On top of that, we were lucky enough to see dolphins and sea turtles, which made the experience even more special. Vincent is a genuinely great guy, friendly, welcoming and passionate about fishing. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to enjoy a great day out on the water. Thanks again, Vincent, and all the best for your future fishing trips!

    when the snapper start biting captain mal knows where they're hiding.

    Mal took my son daughter and brother out today for an arvo charter, i expressed in messeges when booking the trip that my son is getting very keen on his fishing and how i wanted to introduce the little fella to the thrill of the snapper hook ups we all know to well. Captain Mal greeted us at the doc, showed us around and explained the vessel and type of fishing we'd be doing for the arvo and off we went. i dont know how he did it but Captain Mal fulfilled my request first stop, he baits the young fellas rod and shows him the drop cast, and how to set it. "there ya go mate shes all yours now", i bait my rod and as soon as my sinker hits the water i look back and the young fellas ON! Mals straight over guiding him perfectly, nets a beauty of a first snapper and my son was proud as punch. the rest of the trip was great the young fella ended up bagging 4 perfect size fish, my daughter managed to catch the biggest snaper of the day and the smallest on a double hook up just to show us how its really done. there was great banter and smiles all round the entire trip, if your looking for a good time with a good bloke who knows his stuff, aims to and in our situation provided perfectly, a great experience with good vibes and no hassle Captin Mal is your man! dont wait! get out there and keep those lines tight. and honestly Mal thank you so much for a great experience we will be back mate.

    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.

The most comfortable I have ever felt on a charter boat in my 30 years as a Darwin local. Will definitely be back again and highly recommend them to anyone wanting a great fishing experience.
