| Highlights |
We will depart the Derby Boat ramp in the mighty 6m dinghy Crusty with the incoming tide. On the way, we might explore the wreck of the SS Colac at the mouth of the creek. Or explore Luggers and Doctors creeks. We might encounter wildlife such as crocodiles, sharks and birds of prey. Everyone will have a chance to try their luck at picking a prime spot, casting a pot and the ever-suspenseful pulling of the pot. Once we get a good catch we will return to the King Tide or the BBQ area and cook them up for your enjoyment. |
| Inclusions |
Pick up and return to your accommodation in Derby. Crabbing gear, cold drinks, snacks, ice, and bait. BYO special snacks and alcohol. We will cook up a feast of crabs for you too. |
Mangrove Jack is possible too

We had an unforgettable 5 day experience aboard the King Tide.
Bruce as captain, Chrissie as chef/hostess, and Robin as the first mate/fishing guide this is really the A-team.
We had some great fishing - mangrove jack, fingermark and various other species including a nice Mulloway and Dhufish.
Spend a nice afternoon for a swim in a secluded waterfall.
We actually got caught in an unexpected cyclone (things can change fast in the Kimberley) and the captain did a fantastic job keeping us all safe - due in no small part to the excellent anchorage chosen.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first (and definitely not last) visit to the Kimberley and cannot wait to return for an extended visit.
I will have fond memories of this trip for life!
Our group of eight comprised ex Koolanites and their siblings plus a Cockatoo Island local. What an action-packed journey throughout the Buccaneer Archipelago and nearby Kimberley isles. So many memories shared and experiences savoured for a great group of people. The crew excelled from superb cuisine to fishing knowledge and many visits to a diverse range of remote sites. We certainly enjoyed every moment of this special voyage on the comfortable well-appointed King Tide, and particularly re-visiting many 'local attractions' in such a short space of time and especially the calm prevailing weather conditions. Definitely be returning next year for yet another (longer) adventure in this paradise.
Hi Simon, It was a great pleasure to host your group once again. All the Best, Bruce, Robin & Ben
Eight of us joined the crew for a five day trip and I must say it was great.
Bruce and the crew worked hard for us and provided beautiful meal's , scenic tours and great fishing .
Fishing guides Robyn and Troy were amazing in their knowledge of the area, and Troy was also cook and he is a good chef.
Bruce is a wealth of knowledge on the area and a real handyman when it comes to all things Boating and fishing.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and could of stayed a few more days easily.
Thanks again The Bush Chook
