West Boats Explorer

Remote Fishing Charter Business - After several months of exploring pristine reefs and island locations in Papua New Guinea, the MV Alfred Wallace Boat is reluctantly back on the market. Our recent trip was incredibly successful in discovering numerous river systems teeming with Black Bass, and uncovering reefs hosting vast schools of Dogtooth Tuna. Thanks to our achievements, we've secured multiple charter group bookings for the 2024 season.
Access to reefs and rivers has been officially approved by village chiefs, paving the way for an adventurous business owner to seize this incredible opportunity. "
