BLACK WATER EXPLORER HOUSEBOAT
In 1992 River Plate pioneered in Peacock Bass fishing with the introduction of the Amazon Angel Yacht.
The Amazon Angel Yacht has been replaced in July 2007 by the Black Water Explorer houseboat .
We have spared no expense on our new 3 storey floating hotel. Her shallower draft and wider beam will allow us to better overcome shallow waters to access low fishing pressure regions. Although the Black Water Explorer is designed to accommodate 20 anglers, it will set a new standard amongst all other available fishing trips as the most spacious and comfortable yacht for a maximum party of 8 anglers pampered by a crew of 14.

Upon arrival from the US, you'll fly via float plane direct to the yacht where you'll live aboard the Black Water Explorer during the entire week, cruising within the Unini and Indian Reserves. Since entries to the Reserves are limited, there is little fishing pressure. Daily travel times to secluded lagoons is only 5 to 15 minutes. (River Plate funds many philanthropic program to compensate the locals to mantain these areas unfished). If placed outside these two Reserves, daily travel distances could be up to 1 to 3 hours in our shallow drafting bass boats; however, our prices (rates) are correspondingly lower.
The Black Water Explorer features 10 ample 8' x 9' state rooms, each with full bathrooms with showers, a dinning room with an open bar, satellite TV and telephone. All rooms are tastefully decorated with wood panelling finishings and individual controlled air conditioning.
In our spacious dinning room you will be served meticulously prepared four-course meals over linen table cloths while, ......the Black Water Explorer safely cruises assisted with the finest state-of-the-art depth electronics, global positioning, VHF-HF radio, satellite communication, etc.
The top deck grill and open bar is the perfect setting to relax with a cold drink under the Amazon starry sky amongst friends or to daydream with visions of giant peacocks dancing in your head….
Anglers fish (2 per boat and one guide) from fully equipped, 21 foot shallow drafting bass boats. However, in order to navigate pass 2-4 inches shallow water natural entries barriers, we must mantaine the size (weight) over outboards at a maximum of 40 HP.
We feel honored by many returning and loyal guests that continue to enjoy great fishing, living among the luxuries and comforts of our yacht. Cruise with us for a week of unparalleled angling aboard the Fly-In Black Water Explorer .
