Outing Highlights

THE GEAR

Ready‑to‑fish setup

Fishing rods, basic tackle and tackle boxes are available for hire and bait and ice can be purchased, so you can turn a day trip into a proper fishing outing without bringing a full kit.

THE BOAT

Compact, powerful and practical

The 3.8m Stessl Daredevil comes with a 30hp Suzuki motor, a full tank of fuel provided on departure (to be returned full) and all required safety gear included — a straightforward platform for short groups.

THE SUPPORT

Optional launch and support services

If you prefer not to tow or launch yourself, a launch and retrieve service is offered (must be booked at least 48 hours in advance) to simplify getting on and off the water.

What the day feels like

What the hire feels like

This hire is a self‑directed, small‑boat experience: you collect a fully equipped dinghy at Minyirr and spend your days exploring Broome’s waters and Roebuck Bay on your own schedule within the hire window. With safety gear supplied and options for tackle and esky hire, the emphasis is on uncomplicated time on the water — fishing, cruising and making the most of the tidal flats and coastal scenery.

Suitability

Who it's for
