Black Water Explorer Houseboat

Peacock Bass fishing with the introduction of the Amazon Angel Yacht. In July 2007 it was replaced by the Black Water Explorer houseboat.

We have spared no expense on our new 3-storey floating hotel. Its shallower draft and wider beam will allow us to better overcome shallow waters in order to access low fishing pressure regions. Although the Black Water Explorer is designed to accommodate 16 anglers, it will set a new standard among the other available fishing trips because it has the most spacious and comfortable yacht for a maximum party of 8 anglers, pampered by a crew of 14.

Upon arrival from the US, your party will be transferred directly to the Black Water Explorer, where you'll live during the entire week, cruising between Indian Reserves. Since the entry to Reserves is limited, there is little fishing pressure. Daily travel times to secluded lagoons are only of 5 to 15 minutes. (River Plate funds many philanthropic programs to compensate the locals so they maintain these areas unfished). If you stay outside these two Reserves, daily travel distances could be up to 1 to 3 hours in our shallow drafting bass boats; however, our prices are correspondingly lower.

In our spacious dining room you will be served meticulously prepared four-course meals over linen table cloths while the Black Water Explorer safely cruises assisted with the finest state-of-the-art depth electronics, global positioning, VHF-HF radio, satellite communication, etc.

The top deck grill and open bar is the perfect setting to relax with a cold drink under the Amazon starry sky with friends, or to daydream with visions of giant peacocks dancing in your head...

Anglers fish (2 per boat and one guide) from fully equipped, 21-foot shallow drafting bass boats. However, in order to navigate pass 2-4 inches of shallow water natural entry barriers, we must maintain the size (weight) over outboards at a maximum of 40 HP.

We feel honored by many returning and loyal guests who continue to enjoy great fishing while living among the luxuries and comforts of our yacht. Cruise with us for a week of unparalleled angling aboard the Fly-In Black Water Explorer.
