Top End..Top Boating!

Top End boating is great, but it’s different to other states. NT waters are unspoilt and abound with wildlife, both big and small, exotic, unique, and in some cases in need of great respect. Boating these waters has its own challenges and extremes as well as great spots to visit (and fish), so if you’re new to NT boating, or even if you’re not, visit one of the fishing and boating clubs, or local charter boat operators on site at the Show to learn more about fishing and boating in the Top End. There’s a wealth of knowledge and experience, and opportunities to tap into and explore, so don’t miss out on your chance to talk boating with the experts.
