Every Unreel Adventure is unique
Your experienced Skipper and Crew will plan each day’s activities to suit the prevailing tides, weather and guests desires.
On Day 1 – Broome to Cygnet Bay or Derby
You will collected from your accommodation and transferred to DCV King Tide. Board your new home King Tide, meet the crew & enjoy your favourite drink straight off the ice. Your safety and orientation briefing will be followed by discussion of our plan for your unique adventure as we steam North into King Sound to our first anchorage.
Cone Bay
Awaken to a spectacular sunrise, we are surrounded by beautiful Islands, with giant granite boulders resting above the pebbled beaches. At 1.8 billion years, these are some of the oldest rocks in Australia. Gather large Black Lipped Oysters at low tide, a delicious feast our cook will prepare just the way you like them. Follow the tide up a mangrove creek chasing Barramundi and Mudcrabs. Fish our secret lump for big Northern Mulloway as the tide slackens.
Strickland Bay
A great destination for a diverse range of fishing experiences. We’ll target Barramundi, Fingermark and Mangrove Jack in the creeks and try our luck for a Tuna in the bay. We’ll also drop the pots for a Mudcrab on the way to the spectacular Kyulgum Waterfall.
Yampi Sound Fishing & Exploring
Troll for Spanish Mackerel , Coral Trout and Trevally over the reefs. Drift over some deeper reefs for big Fingermark and Saddletail Sea perches on the turn of the tide.
After fishing around the Yampi reefs, we will cruise up Silvergull Creek to the Squatters Arms for a BBQ lunch. Explore a hidden oasis of tropical gardens replete with a warm spring fed pool. Float around in the healing waters and celebrate your adventures.
Dugong Bay
Rarely visited by other vessels Dugong Bay offers 4 waterfall and creek experiences including Turtle Falls, Butterfly Gorge, Fern Gulley and Dugong Falls. We will anchor here overnight.
Outer Islands
Today is the big fish day .We will be trolling the blue water offshore from Cafferelli Island for Spanish Mackerel, GTs, Queenfish, and Tuna. At high tide swim and stroll on a scenic double beach. Climb up to the top of the Island for a vista of the Archipelago.
Final Day 7 – Cygnet Bay or Derby
Watch a slideshow of your trip highlights as we steam through Escape Passage to Cygnet Bay at the NE of Cape Leveque.

Totally enjoyed our afternoon crabbing with Robin and Al. Their local knowledge and information made the day even more enjoyable. We took their advice on how to cook up the crabs and boy what a feast we had. Great experience in Derby
Ray and Carolyn
Fantastic morning out, did the 5 hour crabbing trip, we had our bag limit of good sized mud crabs within an hour of dropping the pots. Added bonus was the abundance of birdlife and also got up close and personal to a couple of saltwater crocs.
If you’re after a nice day out on the water and love eating muddies I couldn’t recommend this more highly.
Big thanks to Bruce and Rob for an amazing experience crabbing on board the Crusty! This knowledgeable crew talked us through navigating the huge tides of Derby and the dos and don't of crabbing, even how to wrangle the ones that somehow escaped the esky (no digits lost!) We even got to see some of the locals 🐊 definitely recommending Unreel Adventures to family and friends as a must do in Derby. Thanks, guys, and we will see you on our next trip !
