CARPENTARIA SEAFARIS - Cape York, Australia Fishing Adventure

The first time we visited and fished the fabulous remote region of The Gulf of Carpentaria, living aboard the Capricorn Mist with Greg Bethune of Carpentaria Seafaris, we knew we had found something very special to share with our angling friends.  That was ten years ago, since then we have sent many anglers to this magnificent fishery and time after time they come home saying, "that was the best fishing trip I have ever been on".  We know of nowhere else in the world where you can fish remote fresh and saltwater wilderness rivers, estuaries, flats and shallow inshore reefs and open waters, or just grab your rod and chase schools of fish down a deserted beach in your bare feet.  You fish from specially built sport fishing skiffs, plug casting and fly fishing to structure for barramundi and mangrove snapper, cast to schools of boiling queenfish and trevally in the river mouths, stake out on the flats sight fishing to Indo Pacific permit, giant ladyfish and others, or chase down schools of busting longtail tuna, barred mackeral and cobia in open water. 

The variety is incredible.  In the same day you can catch high speed pelagic species in the blue water and sweet water exotics 30 minutes upstream.  Over 45 species of gamefish are available... most of them are fish you have never seen before... all of them will peel line off your reel like a freight train.

Captain Greg Bethune launched his new mothership "Tropic Paradise" after years of dreaming and designing the perfect boat for their fishing program.  It ’s specially designed for live-aboard trips into the Gulf of Carpentaria from April through November and the never before fished uncharted far Northern Great Barrier Reef during November, December and March.  The new ship is fitted with all modern conveniences, 6 private staterooms with 2 comfortable (house size) beds, 4 bathrooms, bar, separate lounge/ dining and massive outdoor living / BBQ area.  Carpentaria Seafaris is known for its high standards of personal attention and service, along with delicious gourmet meals. 

If you have an appetite for the greatest fishing, excellent cuisine, warm Australian hospitality and a very comfortable Live-Aboard Adventure, then let us send you down-under for the trip of a lifetime.
