Peacock Bass Fishing Trips

Peacock bass fishing is considered by many to be the greatest adventure a freshwater angler can ever experience.

The Santana Yacht Fleet’s accommodations on the Amazon River are unmatched in their level of quality and superior amenities.  All of the yachts have been custom built and designed to service the American fisherman and adventure traveler.  The yachts are all appointed in hand-crafted mahogany and teak woodwork.  

We are known for reliability, and as the exclusive American partner of the Santana yacht line, we have several yachts available with which to choose from.

Peacock Bass fishing in Brazil is a “TRIP OF A LIFETIME” for many anglers. Peacock Bass are some of the most beautiful fish in the world, and they put up a pretty good fight too!

The Amazon basin is truly one of the last remote areas of the world, and you can travel through these exotic regions of the Amazon River in luxury. 

You will be amazed what you will see and experience in this remote part of the Amazon Basin!

Any true angler that has never fished for “Giant Peacock Bass” in the Amazon must absolutely put it on their bucket list!  Those that have had the experience are, no doubt, looking forward to their next opportunity to return.    My trip on the Amazon Santana was not my first time fishing in the Amazon, and I was pleasantly surprised at the comfortable accommodations on the yacht. It “far” exceeded my expectations and was considerably better than previous houseboats from which I had fished on the Rio Negro.

Our group met the Amazon Santana at Barcelos on the Rio Negro, and the crew handled our luggage and fishing rod cases from the time we got off the plane until it was delivered to our cabins. Those that chose not to bring their own fishing rods and reels were provided with good Peacock Bass fishing tackle, unlike some of the other trips I had been on.   After a hot buffet lunch, pairs of anglers joined their guides and were able to get in several hours of peacock bass fishing on arrival day.  

The experienced guides, most of whom spoke English, constantly amazed me. Although the Amazon Santana moved each day in order to fish new water,they seemed to know each area like the back of their hands. With no charts, no GPS and no channel markers on the Amazon river they navigated the thousands of islands, rivers, lagoons, creeks and hidden lakes in order to seek out the best hot spots.   In addition to catching Speckled, Orinoco and Butterfly Peacock Bass, we caught numerous other species unique to the Amazon river basin which was always fun. Our guide led us to several big Peacock Bass including a 23, 21, 20 and 19 lb bass. The 20 lb Peacock bass was caught on fly tackle.

Our week long experience included, on different days, a shore lunch, barbecue dinner on a sand bar, dining under the stars on the top deck, and even an optional visit to a local native village. Except for an occasional fly, mosquitoes and other pesky critters were almost non existent.   Returning to the yacht each day after 10 or 11 hours of peacock bass fishing, we were met with a cold drink and a welcome cold damp towel.    The food was plentiful and the bar was open all week.

All in all, it was a  great experience which I am looking forward to experiencing again some day.
