The Elegant Blackwater Explorer Peacock Bass Yacht

Acute Angling will collaborate with you to design exactly the trip that perfectly suits your desires. Want a quick, 3-day executive trip for peacock bass? Want a leisurely 3-week exploration of the Amazon's complexity? Want variety and unique experiences? Want fast efficient float plane access or do you prefer a leisurely cruise to the fishery? Tell us what you want - we can make it all happen. Contact us to explore the amazing possibilities.

With her big, fully air-conditioned cabins, private bathrooms and spacious group areas, the Blackwater Explorer is one of the most comfortable yachts in the Amazon. Her shallower draft and wider beam allows us to traverse sandbars and difficult waters to access regions others just can't reach. She's the perfect vessel for exploring remote, new waters.

Minimum group size - 8 anglers. Maximum - 16 anglers.
Limited dates available for short term plans. There is greater availability the farther in the future you plan.

Sample Trip Idea 1
Executive 3-day Peacock Bass Trip - Sample Itinerary

Day 1	Depart Manaus, Brazil - Early AM. Transfer to domestic airport for chartered floatplane flight to water landing nearest the fishery. Arrive on the yacht and enjoy breakfast. Enjoy a full day of fishing for the incredible peacock bass.
Day 2 and Day 3	Two full days of fishing. A normal angling day begins with a 5:30 AM wake up call followed by breakfast at 6:00 AM. Your guide will be ready to depart as early as 6:30 AM, although you can remain on board at your leisure. Pack a boxed lunch and relax or take a midday snooze in a hammock on the riverbank. Return to camp by dusk for appetizers, cocktails and bragging, followed by a delicious dinner. Depending on our location, anglers may also enjoy village visits, jungle walks, spotlighting excursions or catfishing.
Day 4	Early AM transfer back to Manaus via charter flight. Catch your flight back to the US or overnight in Manaus, depending on carrier selected.

The beautiful Blackwater Explorer Built to fish - The new "Blackwater Explorer" is one of the most attractive yachts sailing the Amazon basin. Her classic and graceful "Amazonian Regional" design blends perfectly with the pristine blackwater habitat she calls home. But more importantly, she's been built to fish. Her broad beam maximizes her functional interior space while keeping her length manageably short. This gives her great maneuverability, letting her safely and easily penetrate into inaccessible, meandering headwaters streams. The yacht's impressively low draft (she displaces only 1.2 meters) allows her to readily pass shallow sandbars and obstructions that would keep less efficiently designed boats back in port.

Designed for fishermen - The Blackwater Explorer was designed for fishermen. Her well-organized debarkation deck lets a full group of anglers get started on their fishing day quickly, without crowding, fuss or confusion. The debarkation deck's waterline exit lets you walk right onto your fishing boat, with no ladders to climb. All of your fishing gear and take-along items can remain right at hand and be ready to go when you are. We've done our homework and we've designed the best purpose-built sportfishing vessel in the Amazon.

Luxurious and Comfortable - The Explorer is a fishing mothership of the highest caliber. The list of her luxurious features is long. Here are just a few.

1. Private bathrooms w/sink, toilet and shower in each cabin.
2. Roomy cabins with plenty of storage space.
3. Two meter high ceilings. Gone are the days when six-footers have to duck.
4. Huge (6 and 1/2 x 7 meter) common area. Spacious dining room and lots of walk-around space.
5. Big, wide, non-slip stairwells.
6. Cabin doors open directly to outside spaces.
7. Shallow draft for improved access - almost 1/2 meter less than typical Amazon yachts. The Explorer can fish areas we've never accessed before.
8. Wider beam - Perfect stability.
9. Smoke-free cabins and indoor areas.
10. Open-air bar and lounge area on upper deck.

The best Value in the Amazon. Come and enjoy it with us.

You'll love the lifestyle efficiency of our new boat's design, and the roominess and comfort it provides. With big, individually air-conditioned cabins, private bathrooms, hot showers and spacious group areas, the "Blackwater Explorer" is one of the finest yachts in the Amazon. Her shallow draft and wide beam allow us to traverse sandbars and fast water to access regions others just can't reach.
