Humbug Fishing Boats
View our fleet of fishing boats
Humbug Fishing operates two motherships out of Darwin, Starfire and Brute Force, along with two dedicated fishing tenders. Starfire is built for liveaboard fishing charters. Brute Force is used for tag-along, accommodation-only charters. Both are licensed for up to 12 passengers.
Two vessels, two different trips. If you want our crew to take you fishing and run the whole charter, that is Starfire. If you have your own boat and just need a comfortable base to sleep, eat, and shower each night, that is Brute Force. The tenders below support both.
