Roper River Fishing
Tour
About
Unleash your angler’s instinct and indulge in the thrills of reeling in a variety of prized catches on the Roper River fishing charter. Your charter will begin in Darwin, departing on the Grumman Mallard Amphibian Aircraft and arrive on the back deck of the “Iron Lady” mothership after just two hours.
Once onboard, our chef and hostess serve breakfast. The fishing gear is loaded into skiffs, ready for you to catch your first Barramundi in the NT. The “Iron Lady” becomes your home away from home while your fishing adventure unfolds. Our seasoned guides take you to chosen hotspots and impart local wisdom and advanced fishing techniques.
The Roper River, teeming with fish species, is renowned as one of Australia’s premier fishing destinations. This magnificent river flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria and is navigable for almost 170 km. With its pristine waters and thriving ecosystem, the Roper River attracts fishing enthusiasts worldwide. Captain Dan and the Australian Sportfishing Charters crew know the river intimately. You can be confident that they know exactly where to take you in search of the elusive “metrey” Barramundi, and competition is virtually nonexistent.

4-7 Day Sportfishing Charters
Big skies over the Gulf, remote anchorages, the spear of a Marlin piercing out of the inky blue, a streak of colour in turquoise waters as a yellowfin hooks on to your line, crocs on the banks of mangrove-lined estuaries, and inching in the dingy through thick country chasing a Barra—this is Australian Sportfishing Charters. Book a 4, 5, or 7-day charter aboard the luxury 65-foot motor yacht Iron Lady, where you will enjoy first-class meals from the Chef and Hostess, full air conditioning, sleeping arrangements for 8 guests (3 cabins, all with their own ensuite), a large saloon, an open-air deck upstairs, and four tenders with multiple fishing guides to cater to smaller, more personalised daily fishing adventures. Captain Dan has 27 years of experience sportfishing – you couldn’t be better looked after during your charter.
