Amazon Floating Cabins

Trek wants you in Brazil for the world’s best Peacock Bass fishing. We have now improved on an already fantastic trip, check out our streamlined short trip program that now makes the Amazon accessible to all Anglers.

The Trip: Trek Safaris is partnered with River Plate's floating cabins to produce the best South American Peacock Bass fishing trip today. We have operated in the Amazon Basin for nearly two decades. As hundreds of our clients can attest, Brazil is THE place to go for shots at trophy sized Peacocks. We have utilized various methods of accessing this tremendous fishery; from motherships to land based lodges, but nothing we have done in the past can match these floating cabins for getting you into the most remote waters. The headwaters of the Amazon Basin, although very productive fisheries, are seldom visited by mothership operations due to natural barriers such as waterfalls and land masses. What's more is that this entire operation is mobile to take advantage of optimum water levels in the entire region which is critical to great fishing in the Rio Negro region.

Each of the four 10’x15’ cabin will accommodate two anglers in each for a maximum of only eight anglers per trip. Each unit will have a toilet, shower, sink, table, twin beds and is fully air conditioned. There is a separate dining cabin for meals and lounging. Your cabin will of course be beached, but in the rare event you will need to be moved they will be done so in a caravan pulled by a diesel motherboat. No, this is not the Ritz, but plenty comfortable for the Amazon. Your camp location may not be determined until right before you depart.

 The Itinerary: Trek will now be utilizing eight passenger turbo prop Caravans, allowing anglers to fish almost virgin waters and not be structured into the lengthy mothership schedules.The floating cabin program will be a seven day, six night trip with four full and one half day of peacock bass action.Upon arrival into Manaus (Trek will be happy to assist you with your international flights) you will be met by a lodge representative and be transferred to your hotel for a brief rest before being flown by our eight passenger float plane to the area where our floating cabins will be stationed.

The Fishing: After getting your gear stowed and getting your equipment ready, you will head out to fish the remainder of the day. The next four days will be full fishing days and on the morning of the last day, the group will be flown back to Manaus in time to board your scheduled international flight to Miami, or if you desire spend the night in Manaus and fly home the next day. This trip is geared to the angler who is looking for a real organized Amazon adventure to a place where few have fished. 

Our anglers report up to 50+ fish per boat, per day with peacocks released up to 20 pounds. Groups are kept small, only 8 anglers per week so fishing pressure is never an issue. Season is from October-March and Trek has airline contracts on both TAM and Delta Airlines to Manaus. Call today for a suggested date and airline schedules.
