Our difference

We offer the most personalised fishing experience in the Top End, catering for a maximum of just 12 anglers at a time. This exclusive experience gives you the opportunity to fish in solitude and experience some of the best blue water and barramundi fishing in Australia. Permits for the Cobourg Peninsula are heavily regulated meaning you will never be part of a crowd. In additional to world class fishing you'll enjoy chef prepared meals each evening featuring a range of locally caught seafood and premium cuts of meat. All alcohol can be pre-ordered at bottle-shop prices.
