Our sport fishing expeditions in the Amazon are carefully planned to offer a complete and worry-free experience. Once you book your trip with us, we take care of all the details, from arranging your international travel to Manaus, Brazil, (I will give you contacts for people who will do this for you – you even get a commision1) to pick up at the airport and guided transfer to our home base hotel, to chartered flight to the fishing area, through accommodation on our TUPANA-X yacht.
Once aboard, our hotel trained host and staff will provide all food, drink, fishing and safety equipment. Our brilliant guides will put you on the fish in our well equipped boats and they will make sure you succeed. At the end of each fishing day, you’ll return to the comfort and safety of our welcoming yacht.
Our yacht has 8 cabins that can accommodate either 1 or 2 anglers per cabin, your choice. A private cabin trip is $6499 USD. If you care to share our queen sized bed with your significant other or use the upper bunk for your fishing partner, we provide double occupancy cabins for $5900 per angler. We have 6 well-equipped fishing that ae designed to handle 2 anglers and a guide. Consequently, our trips can handle from 8 to 12 anglers, depending on you or your group’s preferences.
Our nicely appointed cabins have hot showers, individual air-conditioners and comfortable wueen-sized beds along with an accessory bunk for your use. Our cabins a a bit larger than the typical Amazon yacht.
When your arms are too tired to fight any more fish and your trip comes to an end, we get back to work ensuring a safe charter flight back to Manaus where you will be met by our Manaus guide who will oversee all transfers and make all arrangements.
Once your reservation is confirmed, we expertly craft every chapter of your Amazonian expedition. From air transfers from Manaus directly into the heart of the rainforest’s fishing grounds, to refined accommodation aboard the TUPANA-X, adventure unfolds without sacrificing comfort. Thoughtfully prepared cuisine, premium fishing and safety equipment, and precisely coordinated logistics ensure a journey that is as immersive as it is effortless — concluding with a smooth return to the international airport for your journey home.
*Travel insurance is not included in our curated experiences; however, we encourage guests to arrange coverage that best suits their individual needs.
* We suggest USD 250 for your guide, USD 250 for the onboard team, and USD 20 for the host in Manaus. These amounts are shared simply as a helpful reference and are, of course, entirely at your discretion.
We fish during the Amazon’s dry season, when dropping waters concentrate baitfish and allow peacock bass to end their rainy season scarcity. The best times to fish are from late-August through mid-March.
We recommend bringing light, comfortable clothing suited to the tropical climate, along with sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat or cap, sunglasses, and long pants and long-sleeved shirts for sun protection. Personal medications and identification documents are also advised. All fishing equipment and bait are thoughtfully provided by us.
We will organize, arrange and guide all aspects of your travel. To get to the fishing area, you first need to fly to Manaus, Brazil. Our travel representative can offer you options among several national and international flights that arrive at Eduardo Gomes International Airport. From Manaus, we provide transportation to the fishing area by chartered aircraft. Our staff manages all of your travel, ensuring a safe and peaceful journey to and from the fishing destination.
