Island Explorer - Northern Territory Fishing Charters

Live Aboard Mothership Fishing Charter Options

When you book a Northern Territory fishing charter with Island Explorer fishing charters you will be fishing remote and untouched parts of the Northern Territory.

As your skipper (Mal Reid) is also the owner, an Island Explorer Charter is able to be customised to suit your needs. With Mal on board this also gives you the opportunity to vary itineraries even whilst you are out on charter. eg. you have had your fix of getting your arms streched by Black Jew fish! OK we will change plan tommorow and throw lures for Barramundi.

When fishing with island Explorer Charters you can choose to spend your time Barramundi fishing and Threadfin Salmon fishing in the estuaries, bait fishing for Golden Snapper & Black Few Fish on the reefs and targetting pelagics on the bluewater. Why not get a real taste of Northern Territory fishing and combine them all in the one trip.
