Your Fishing Hosts
Jordan Walters
Jordan spent a great deal of his childhood walking the banks of the Southern rivers chasing Murray Cod, Yellow Belly and Trout. His thirst for adventure brought him to the Northern Territory in 2006, chasing its’ world-class fishing and climate.
Having worked in various sectors within the NT Tourism Industry, including operating and managing 4×4 tours, offshore fishing charters and helifishing charters, Jordan established Offshore Boats in 2016.
Jordan is your first point of contact. He spends half of his time behind the scenes running the business, but he loves nothing more than being out on the bluewater, hunting fish, witnessing his guest’s enjoyment as they experience the incredible fishing the Top End has to offer.
When he’s not on the water, Jordan and his wife Yvonne are kept busy by their 3 young boys.
Ryan (center) filming with Mark Berg Fishing Addiction
After finishing school in 2008, he beelined it to the NT to explore the pristine ecosytems and experience the fishing he had always dreamed. Ryan has been exploring the NT for 15 years. WIth his instincts and experiences combined, it is totally natural for him him to find fish in any one of our vessels.
When Ryan is on land, you won’t find him – he will be on a wild adventure somewhere with his 5yo daughter.

A Navy veteran of over 23 years, with 14 years of that at sea, he arrived in Darwin in 1997. Tim’s passion is chasing Barra. He has done so for over 20 years in the NT and is currently the Chairman of the Top End Barra Series – a 6 round annual Barar fishing competition. When he is not working, writing articles for NAFA, or running the local fishing competitions, you will usually find him on a waterway somewhere in the NT chasing Barra or pelagics with his wife of 25 years and 3 children.
