BRAZIL FISHING EXPERIENCE
Our expert guides will help you plan your day of fishing for all of the Amazon's exotic species such as the famous Peacock Bass (a.k.a Tucunare), Tambaqui, Pirannha, Pirarucu, Arawana just to name a few. Our experienced guides will provide helpful tips whether you are the most experienced angler or just beginning the sport. In order to provide the best possible fishing for your voyage with us, we travel daily to new fishing areas based on the expertise of our fishing guides and captain.

OUR GUIDES were born and raised in the Amazon region directly from the Nareas where you will be fishing. They are collectively considered the best there is. Each one is famous in their own right. Our guides are skilled anglers who are delighted to demonstrate the various techniques that you will need to catch your own trophy Peacock Bass! Whether you want to cast plugs, flies, troll or fish with live bait, your guide can, and will increase your chances of catching your trophy and perhaps a world-record fish.
ANGLERS are paired two to a boat with an experienced Brazilian guide, fishing from American-made bass boats powered by 4-stroke motors, equipped with electronic trolling motors and built-in VHF radios to communicate with the "mother ship" or the other fishing boats in order stay at the best fishing spots. Designed for both conventional and fly fishermen, they feature front and rear raised fishing platforms, comfortable three-across seating and removable fishing chairs for additional comfort while fishing. These boats were specifically chosen for their ability to access those "secret lagoons" favored by our experienced guides. While conventional spinning and bait casting tackle is the norm, we do cater to and have large groups of fly fishermen from all around the globe that visit us each year in search of breaking a world record. Many anglers bring their spouses who quickly learn to fish under the careful eye of our trained guide staff, many times catching the largest fish.
