Barra Private Tours

05/09/2026

Build up season is here, and the barra know it.

Our Staycation Fishing Package is officially open for bookings —
2 nights, 2 days of private charter fishing, paired with a marina view stay right here in Darwin.

This time of year is when the barra really switch on. Warm water, building pressure, feeding fish. If you've been waiting for the right window, this is it.

What's included:

2 nights in our marina view apartment, Bayview Darwin
2 full days of private charter fishing (max 4 people)
Barra, reef fishing and a bit of wildlife sightseeing along the way

The stay is more than just a great view. Quality mattresses mean proper rest after a big day on the water, so you're fresh and ready to go again on day two. Laundry and dryer on hand too, so your fishing gear stays clean for the next outing.

It's a solid excuse to switch off for a couple of days, get out on the water, and spend proper time with family or mates — good fishing, good company, no rush back to reality.

Limited weekend availability:

Sep 26–27
Oct 3–4
Oct 10–11
Oct 17–18

Spots are limited and these weekends will move quickly. DM us to lock in your dates and we'll sort the rest.

Real reviews. Real results.

Two incredible trips, two very happy crews. One guest hooked a 68cm barra within 30 minutes of leaving the ramp. Another landed 10 barra up to 80cm over 2 days, plus saratoga and tarpon on the side.

This is what a private charter with someone who knows the harbour looks like.

Our 2 Days, 2 Nights Fishing Charter is now open for booking
📅25 September – 30 November 2026.

Keen eye on 25–29 September. Big tide moving through, prime conditions for barra.

Spots are limited, private charters only. Send us a message to check upcoming availability and lock in your dates.

Late dry, barra on fire. 🎣

Darwin Harbour magic, again. --- One spot on Thursday, 8 hours trip.

Had two solo travellers join us today for a 6 hour charter — neither of them knew each other before hopping on the boat this morning.

The longer trip gave us time to work with the tide properly. Started chasing barramundi early, then moved onto the reef as conditions shifted through the day. That's the advantage of a full session on the water — you're not racing the clock, you're fishing the conditions.

Ended up with a great mixed catch, plenty of laughs, and two blokes who left as mates rather than strangers. That's honestly one of the best parts of this job — watching people connect over a shared love of fishing.

we'd love to have you aboard.

🎣 Your own private boat. Luxury stays. Untouched water in New Caledonia.
A private charter on some of the best untouched fishing ground left in the Pacific — the South Lagoon, a vast UNESCO-listed system that's barely been fished. GT on the popper, dogtooth tuna on the jig, mahi mahi, wahoo and marlin on the troll, plus reef species most anglers only read about. Premium gear, a serious boat, no strangers, no rush, your pace.
You're fishing with two guides on this one: a local boat captain who knows this water inside out, plus Floran — your Darwin guide, the one you already fish with here in the NT — joining you for the whole trip. Fluent in French and English, he handles everything: picks you up at the airport, organises the food and accommodation, sorts every detail, and drops you back when it's time to fly home. Nothing gets lost between you and the crew, nothing left to chance.
Between fishing days, you're in luxury beachfront accommodation in Nouméa, then a remote lodge deep in the wild Grand Sud, with proper local dinners along the way.
This is what Barra Private Tours has always done — seven years running fully hosted fishing trips in the NT — just extended to New Caledonia. One price, one point of contact, everything sorted before you land.
Six nights, five full days fishing.
📅 Week 1: 5–11 January
📅 Week 2: 14–20 January
✅ 6 nights luxury accommodation ✅ 5 full days guided fishing, premium gear ✅ All meals included ✅ Small group, 2–6 anglers ✅ Fully hosted & fully insured
From $5,900pp (twin share, full group of 6) — genuinely competitive for this level of fishing and comfort. Not included: flights, travel insurance, alcohol.
Spots are limited — DM us to join the waiting list. 🎣
