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... More

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.

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 !

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled you had such a great day out on the water with Barra Private Tours.
It’s always rewarding to see clients, even first-timers, reel in some impressive barramundi. Seven barra between 59-69cm is an awesome catch – you all did an amazing job! We’re so glad we could put you on the fish and that you enjoyed the advice and techniques Floran shared. Successfully wiring all those barramundi is definitely something to celebrate!
We also enjoyed the chats about fishing and those NT crocs! It was an amazing half-day session, and we’re looking forward to seeing you again for your next booked trip.
Thanks again for choosing Barra Private Tours!

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!

Booking through Fishing Booker was simple and easy. Floran from Barra Private Tours was knowledgeble, on time, well equiped and super passionate to make it a great experience for myself and my 2 teenage sons. We all hooked fish and got a 66cm Barra keeper as well, even though its low season for Barra. All super pumped and great to have for lunch. I’d highly recommend Floran and Barra Private Tours.

Your five-star review means the world to us. We hope to see you back on the water soon!
