Tag Along Fishing Charters
Bring your own boat
Tag-along charters let you fish the Top End in your own boat while using Brute Force, Humbug Fishing’s 19-metre monohull, as your mothership each night. Up to four boats can tie up alongside for accommodation, meals, and facilities, with charters running from February to December.
How does a tag-along charter work?
You fish your own boat, on your own plan, during the day. Each evening, you return to Brute Force for accommodation, a shower, and a meal, rather than heading back to shore. Our team will either meet you at an agreed location or work alongside you to a shared plan for the trip.
This suits Top End locals with their own boat who want the fishing range and independence of their own vessel, without giving up a proper bed, air conditioning, and a hot shower at the end of the day.
What is included on a tag-along charter?
Brute Force provides air-conditioned accommodation, all linen, cutlery, and crockery, a toilet and shower, a barbecue, and use of the fridges and chest freezers. You load your own gear, food, and drinks, and use the mothership as your base on the water. Alcohol is not included, but if you pre-order and pay ahead, your drinks will be on board and on ice when you arrive.
What can you catch on a tag-along charter?
Target species include Spanish mackerel, black jewfish, red emperor, golden snapper, coral trout, barramundi, tuna, queenfish, trevally, cobia, salmon, spangled and long-tailed emperor, mangrove jack, and mud crabs, depending on the season and location. Northern Territory bag limits apply.
Where do tag-along charters go?
Humbug Fishing can take tag-along charters to Anson Bay, the Peron Islands, Daly River, Redcliffe, Cape Scott, Cape Ford, the Little Moyle and Moyle Rivers region, the Fitzmaurice River, Timor Box, and the Kimberley.
What do you need to book?
A tag-along charter is booked as a whole-boat booking. Standard charters cover trips within approximately 100 nautical miles of Darwin. For destinations beyond that range, contact our team directly to check pricing and availability. Charters run from February to December, subject to availability. Pricing depends on group size, duration, and destination, so get in touch for a quote.
