Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I throw a line in?
Due to the extremely short travel times, you’ll usually be fishing within 20 minutes. Unlike other fishing charters, you don’t need to travel hours in the boat before actually getting a line wet, there are many great fishing spots right here in Darwin Harbour.

Will I get seasick?
Will I get seasick?
Unfortunately, your guide has no control over who gets sick and who doesn’t. Precautions can be taken to reduce the chance, though. Seasick tablets (a few hours before), magnets and ginger are some of the remedies. Refraining from a big night at the pub prior to your charter is also a good idea.
Are we guaranteed to catch fish?
Are we guaranteed to catch fish?

What happens in the event of bad weather?
What happens in the event of bad weather?
The Operator will contact you the day before to cancel the charter. If the trip is cancelled due to rough weather i.e. 25/30 knot wind warning, you are either rebooked for a later date or your money is refunded. If it is not safe to go to sea, you won't go, so if you are here on holidays you are better off booking your fishing trip at the start of your holiday. The Operator does not generally cancel rainy days as the boat is covered so you can keep out of the rain or sun.
