Kimberley Fishing Cruise

The Kimberley Fishing cruise is the ultimate way to fish these remote waters and enjoy the spectacular coastal scenery aboard a well appointed mother ship. This remote area of Australia is a mix of pristine beaches, towering gorges, reefs rich with marine life, mangrove lined estuaries and of course fantastic fishing. The best Kimberley Fishing areas are inaccessible by road and few facilities exist.

You can be one of the few privileged people to visit this area aboard our 20 meter, fully air-conditioned catamaran mother ship on a seven day fishing cruise that starts and finishes in Broome. This will be one fishing adventure you will boast about for a long time to come.

This pristine environment is the home of a myriad of wildlife and marine life and over 50 species of fish are regularly caught here.

Of course Kimberley Fishing is well known for the legendary Barramundi that inhabits the rivers and estuaries in abundance along with Mangrove Jack, Threadfin Salmon and others. But it is not just about Barramundi Fishing with Spanish Mackerel, Fingermark, Giant Trevally, Golden Trevally, Cobia, Queenfish, Tuna, Shark ,Snapper, Emperor, Cod, Coral Trout commonly landed around inshore reefs beaches.

The best time to enjoy a Kimberley Fishing cruise along this spectacular coast is between May and November. The wet season has finished and the weather is at its most stable. Clear sunny days always around 30 degrees with plenty of time to explore a multitude of fishing environments. There are 14 departures between May and November. The cruise starts and finishes in Broome and visits Yampi Sound, Shark Alley, Doubtful Bay, Ruby Falls, Three Ways and Montgomery Reef just to name a few places. Along the way enjoy fantastic and varied fishing from the mother ship or fully equipped and purpose built tenders.
