Sharks Plus!

Darwin 4 hours Private Charter3 adults1 child

Excellent arvo out on the water. Entertained by performing sharks and still managed to catch fish. Thanks very much - hope to return in the wet season at sometime.

Response from Charter operator

Thank you Tamara. It's truly heartwarming to witness a father and son bonding over shared activities ❤️. I am so happy for capturing these moments. This is what makes our trips so special. We believe these memories can last a lifetime for the family.

    Barra Thursday birthday adventure

    Full Day Private Charter - Remote • 2 adults

    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.

    Reported Catch

    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

    Fantastic trip

    Darwin 4 hours Private Charter • 4 adults

    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 !

    Response from Charter operator

    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 day!

    Darwin 4 hours Private Charter • 4 adults • 2 children

    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!

    Response from Charter operator

    Hi Chris! Thanks so much for joining us and for this awesome review! 🎣 Fishing is all about enjoying a sensational trip — on a half-day tour, we do our absolute best to get you into the action and make sure you have an enjoyable time on the water. 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! 🐟

    Great charter

    Darwin 4 hours Private Charter • 4 adults

    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 🎣👍
