Arnhemland has some of the best barramundi fishing on this earth and the Arnhemland Coastal Camp is perfectly located to take advantage of this barra fishing.

Location Facilities
The MV Cannon is a luxury 75’ mothership, purpose-built for comfort and to the specifications required for our sportfishing charters.
All the comforts of home (and likely more!) are yours to enjoy while exploring the remote locations of our charters around the Top End and Kimberley.
As soon as you come aboard you’ll feel right at home, welcomed by the huge outside entertaining deck area where you’ll enjoy most of your meals at the 10-seater table under the shade of the hardtop.
With the must-have BBQ and large drinks fridge, we are fully equipped for throwing a shrimp or two on the barbie while cracking a cold one and taking in the view. On hot days, relax in the internal lounge and dining area with TV, video, DVD and stereo system, all in air-conditioned comfort.
SLEEP IN STYLE
The MV Cannon sleeps 8 guests in four surprisingly roomy, air-conditioned cabins which always have an unlimited supply of fresh water for showers.
Two cabins are in bunk-bed style and come with their own shower and separate toilet, and two have a double and single bed with private ensuites.
While you’ll be spending most of your day out on the water, our rooms have everything you need to enjoy a refreshing sleep and get the most out of your trip!
Step into your ‘office’ for the day….
Our custom-built tinnies are a roomy 4.8 m, equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable day on the water.
The carpeted interior is kept clean and well-maintained, the leather seats are sturdy and padded and the esky is well stocked with food, water and all other important ‘hydration’ needed for a hard day’s work.
Each tinny seats two fishermen and their personal guide, and gives you the freedom to fish and explore the hidden nooks and crannies that other large charter ships can’t access. Talk about an office with a view…
All lures and fishing gear are provided for you on our trips – and we have some of the best equipment out there!
You’ll get to try out some of the top gear from Shimano, G Loomis, Diawa and we also have bait caster and spinning reels available if you are that way inclined.
Our lures and soft plastics are from professional brands like Zman, Halco, and Gulp, and you can even try your hand at net casting at certain locations and spots along the way. All gear is provided on a ‘replace if lost’ basis – so be prepared to hold on tight when you hook that thrashing Barra!
Meals & Drinks
Consistently rated 5-star by their guests, the food we serve aboard the Cannon is the kind of quality you didn’t think possible on a fishing charter.
Expect fine dining as our onboard chef whips up restaurant-quality meals made from local and regional food, along with the catch of the day.
Be quick to be the one to catch his latest request and you can claim all the credit at dinner that night!
Served by the chef himself, you’ll be impressed as he explains the ingredients and flavours of each artfully-presented dish.
Enjoy steak, lamb cutlets or freshly-caught fish, followed by gourmet desserts of chocolate mud cake or a deconstructed lemon tart…
Is your mouth watering yet?
