Where to we depart from?
Our departure location is only 2km from the CBD at Dinah Beach boat ramp, at the end of Gonzales Rd in Stuart Park behind In & Outboard Marine. However due to the flexible nature of our operation,we may use other boat ramps from time to time depending on weather and guest requirements.
Departure times vary, but we usually like to hit the water at around 6.30am to get a full day of fishing in.

What fishing equipment do you provide?
We provide 3 high quality Shimano rod and reel outfits per guest to suit the various techniques throughout the day.
Will I get seasick?
The waters off Darwin can be quite calm. We carefully plan our itinerary around the tides and weather and always aim to fish in calm waters. We have a wide range of fishing locations and can focus on an area that best suits the weather and target species.
We also operate a fully licensed tourist vehicle, an 8 seater Landcruiser, and our vessel is trailer-able, so we have a lot of fishing location options. Most of the time we depart Darwin, however, if it’s rough, we can always drive to calmer waters with our vessel in tow.
In extreme cases, we will happily try to reschedule the trip or provide a full refund. Rough weather isn’t fun for us either!
What food do you provide?
Whilst on the water, our focus is on searching for and catching fish. We do not relocate to sheltered waters and take a break for meals. That’s not to say we don’t eat well. Our menu has been carefully fine-tuned to ensure all meals are of high quality, yet easily consumed while fishing.
- Breakfast/morning tea – Orange juice, iced coffee, muffins, fruit etc.
- Lunch – Salad and meat wraps
- Snacks – Snack platters, sweet snacks, savoury snacks and fruit. *fresh fish if time permits
*Note catering can vary and dietary requirements are always taken into consideration.
