Fishing Tours Cape Jervis is one of Adelaide's most available and best value blue-water fishing experience. It is the "Inexpensive alternative" to owning your own boat (See Newsletter). Maris Zalups is a Government licensed owner and skipper, who having previously worked these waters as a professional fisherman has the experience required to operate charters in this area. Our Service is in its 15th Year of successful operation.

We cater exclusively for groups of 5-7 people.

By doing so we can deliver the high level of personal instruction and guidance required to successfully fish Backstairs Passage. Most patrons would be unfamiliar with the area which has some of the strongest currents and tides in southern waters. Also 5-7 heads is a practical number in most situations, as it maximises your chances of catching the big one !!!

 

 

Backstairs Passage does produce spectacular results and your environment will be visually exciting! The rugged coastline of the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula and the backdrop of Kangaroo Island affords a scenic vista which is unique. These are exceptional geological and historical coastlines and the adjacent waters are the natural habitat for a variety of marine birds and mammals including whales, dolphins, sea eagles and sea lions.

ENCOUNTER II is a 34 foot Skippercraft built here in South Australia. It is a planing hull with forward-enclosed cabin and head. Spacious after deck with 180 square feet of work area for fishing. Weighing approximately 5 tonnes, it is powered by twin Volvo 165HP diesel engines running Duoprop Sterndrives. The vessel is fully equipped and has a top speed of 28mph. It is a fast, stable and an extremely safe platform for fishing in these waters.
