Satellite Trackers
All of our fishing boats are equipped with satellite messaging and GPS tracking devices. If an emergency arises, we’re ready to handle it immediately. We know where you are and what your status is all the time.
Fishing trips to the most remote corners of the Amazon are meant to be exciting, extraordinary adventures. New waters, giant fish, the immense, pristine wilderness - accessing these rare things means getting far away from civilization and its resources. Even though our Amazon Lodge is comfortable and our days thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable, no common sense safety and security precautions should be overlooked.
Communications are a key component of our Amazon Lodge operation. Our GPS coordinates are on file in Manaus and our operational status is confirmed daily. Satellite telephone and aircraft radio communications ensure that our logistical efforts operate smoothly and error-free. In the event of an emergency, help can be summoned with a simple call.
Boating and fishing bring their own set of safety requirements. All of our angler boats are of welded, heavy-duty aluminum construction and purpose-built to our specifications. Designed to handle all possible river conditions, they are stable and secure. Our boats and camp are equipped with approved lifejackets
In spite of all precautions, accidents can happen. The lodge has a well-stocked first aid kit.
