Accessibility : Can I handle a fishing trip with Reel Teaser?
To fully enjoy your fishing adventure, good health and a reasonable level of mobility are important. Activities include boarding and disembarking tenders, long days fishing and occasionally swimming. Our crew is always available to assist guests who need support.
If you have any injuries or disabilities, please inform us prior to departure so we can plan accordingly. Please note that due to the vessel’s design and survey limitations, wheelchair access is extremely limited and may require significant physical assistance.
Will I get sea sick?
On our Kimberley cruises, we primarily explore calm, sheltered river estuaries and protected coastal regions. While conditions are generally smooth, some choppiness may occur from time to time.
Our Rowley Shoals Adventures involve crossing approximately 300 km of open ocean to reach the coral atolls. The open-sea transit can be rough, but once you arrive, you’ll enjoy the tranquil waters within the protected reef.
If you’re prone to seasickness or unsure how you’ll handle the motion, we highly recommend using preventative medication, especially during the initial days of travel. Please remember to bring your own seasickness remedies, as these are not provided onboard.
What type of food should I expect on board?
Reel Teaser offers a range of beautiful carefully crafted meals onboard that of course include a lot of freshly caught fish.
Dietary restrictions are taken into account on the pre-departure form and can be accommodated for,
If you are celebrating something please let us know and our staff will be more than happy to make a cake or special meal to help make the day more special.
Can I swim at the Rowley’s and the Kimberley?
There are options for fresh water swimming in the Kimberley which are offered to guests if they are interested. Absolutely no swimming in the ocean on these trips is permitted.
The Rowley’s & Scott Reef trips involve beautiful coral reefs that are safe to swim and snorkel in. We provide all snorkelling gear.
Can I drink the water on the boat?
All drinking water is desalinated on board, we are able to make water but request the guests are water conscious as it’s a long, slow process.
A reusable water bottle is provided for each guest to reduce single use plastic waste.
When should I arrive in Broome?
We recommend guests arrive in the morning on the day of departure, as we aim to leave around 2pm.
If guests plan to stay the night in Broome before the trip, we will pick you up from your accomodation when the boat is ready to depart.
Can I bring fish home?
No, we are a catch and release charter other than the fish that are consumed on the trip. In addition, we do not carry any frozen fish so the guests are in charge of catching fish if they want to eat any onboard!
Can I smoke onboard?
Yes there is a designated smoking area which will be pointed out at time of departure.
I am a solo traveller, can I still come?
We usually only take full boat bookings. However if you can’t find people to join you please still contact us and we can put you on a singles list if a small group comes up.
Can I buy alcohol on board?
Reel Teaser is not a licensed vessel, therefore we have no on board stock of alcohol. A alcohol order form will be sent to guests prior to departure and anything ordered will be waiting for you on board.
