Top End Reel Escape 

Book your next trip with Top and Reel Escape and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Darwin for more.

These waters are known for Sailfish, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Longtail Tuna, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Mallory welcomes children aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Capt. Mallory runs a 42' Randell cruiser with capacity for 12 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is not allowed. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Top and Reel Escape.
