		New Moon is a state of the art 43 foot O'Brien sportfisher, featuring the latest in electronic equipment and tackle. The electronics system features the latest SIMRAD technology, all fully integrated system connecting the tower with the bridge electronics.  We also have forward scanning sonar, multiple GPS plotters and sounders.   Fishing features include built in tuna tubes, live bait and brine tanks. She is powered by twin 450hp Cummins diesel and cruises at 21 knots. 240v power is provided by a 12.5kva onan and inverters. Freshwater tanks are kept pressed by the watermaker. There is ample fridge and freezer capacity for long trips and all cabins are serviced by split system aircon. We have a 4 berth front cabin and a double cabin with it's own ensuite (for couples) as well as a large main bathroom and head. The galley is equipped with cooktops as well as convection and microwave oven. Entertainment extra's in the saloon include TV and video with playback facilities to watch the days action. Music is provided via 6 stack CD Player. We normally operate with a crew of up to 3. All this with the best in fishing gear and tackle. You are sure to find a winner!   'Wild Turkey' The light tackle Billfish season is just getting into swing and the Spanish Mackeral and Mahi Mahi are bitting fast and furious. To cope with demand following last years MONSTER Marlin season, I have added "Wild Turkey" a brand new 35 ft custom sportfisher to the fleet. She is available from December until September each year.		Mantaray is a mobile fishing lodge that can take both fly and lure fishermen to the remote wilderness that is Cape York.  Mantaray is fully air conditioned with a spacious living area downstairs and a covered upper deck for dining with the best water front views. Mantaray utilises three fully equipped 5 metre skiffs to fish the rich inshore grounds for barramundi and other tropical species.
