Matava Resort operates a 17ft British built Warrior fishing boat for exclusive charter to guests of the resort. The Great Astrolabe reef and nearby continental shelf drop off offers superb reef and ‘Stand up and fight’ blue water game fishing. Anglers can sport fish the various pinacles and bommies within the reef system on Penn International 30lb class rods and reels or, weather permitting, head out through one of the barrier reef passages and step up to Penn International 50lb and 80lb class gear and fish the nearby continental shelf drop off for billfish.
Anglers wanting to spend an exciting few hours or those sport fishing for the first time can do so by trying their hand at catching some of the huge variety of tropical predators such as GTs, Spanish mackerel, mahi mahi or coral trout and maybe catch one for the BBQ that night.
For the keen bill fish angler or those wishing to experience big game fishing for the first time, the boat can be on the 1,000 metre Pacific drop off within 15 minutes trolling for black marlin, blue marlin, striped marlin and Pacific sailfish.
The resort operates a policy of ‘Catch and Release’ on all billfish and other game fish not destined for the dinner plate.
The boat is equiped with sonar, GPS, marine VHF radio and spare engine. Aboard is suitable safety equipment such as life jackets, EPIRB, flares and fire extinguisher. There are no toilet facilities but packed lunches and drinks can be supplied for longer trips. The resort is always delighted to take requested digital photos for guests and email them with our compliments.
