Blue Water / Reef - 48 hour Fishing Charter Darwin

Fish till you drop.

On this charters you'll experience the excellent reef fishing Darwin & the Top End has to offer. Departing from Cullen Bay at 6pm, settle in for sunset nibbles and a delicious barbecue dinner as you steam out to the fishing grounds.

After a few hours, your crew will put you on the spot to hook up an assortment of blue water and reef fishing species such as Spanish mackerel, coral trout, red emperor, black jewfish, golden and tricky snapper, tuna, giant trevally and queenfish.

The choice is yours, either curl up in a bunk for a few hours sleep, or for the really keen fisherman, stay up and fish all night! Sunrise on the tropical waters of the Northern Territory is a highlight, and catching a prize jewfish or sizable red emperor at first light is something to write home about.

You'll wake up to a hearty bacon and egg breakfast followed by a cold meat and salad lunch. After hauling out a prize fish, you will also have the chance to cook and eat it fresh off the barbecue.

Charter returns to Cullen Bay at 6pm.
