Rio Negro Lodge

Operates  from October 2, 2009 - March 13, 2010

Rio Negro Lodge is home base for anglers departing each morning (by  Nitro boat or float plane) for their day of peacock bass fishing. You return each night to the Rio Negro Lodge for rest and relaxation.

Completed in 1998, the lodge was designed to epitomize luxury for up to 42 guests. Spacious and air conditioned, the main lodge spans 5,000 square feet beneath a verdant jungle canopy. The lodge serves as a hub for fine dining and fellowship while the private cabins form spokes for solitude.

Located on paths winding through the lush rain forest grounds of the Rio Negro Lodge, the cabins feature air conditioning, queen-sized beds, private baths with hot water, walk-in showers, a sitting area and a  covered porch. Beautiful views. Absolute comfort.

The property incorporates handcrafted woods, slate floors and thatched roofs, creating dramatic beauty against the exotic jungle backdrop. And our guests will enjoy resort-level amenities like daily laundry service, a private beach and fine dining. 

Called "tucunare" in Portuguese, the peacock bass is a born ambusher and one of the most ferocious freshwater fish you'll find anywhere. Interestingly enough, the "bass" portion of the fish's name is a bit incorrect. Peacocks are actually members of the cichlid family (like oscar).

Peacocks come in several varieties, including speckled, black-barred, butterfly and royal. In this area of the Amazon, you’ll see all of them except royal. The world record peacock (a 27-pounder caught by one of Rio Negro’s anglers) is speckled. These varieties range in color and size, but the behavior is pretty much the same. Mean. Aggressive. Territorial.

Acrobatic brawlers on a line, they snap 30-lb. monofilament like thread, straighten saltwater hooks, mangle lures and send rods home in more pieces than you came with. They are almost exclusively diurnal and aren't the least bit sun-shy, hitting most lures at the surface with explosive force. They're not too choosey about baits, but landing them is guaranteed to be one of the toughest freshwater fights you'll ever get in. You'll love every second of it.

The trip price of $5,950 per person includes:

All necessary ground transportation and air charters within Brazil; lodging (double occupancy); guide service (2 anglers with a Brazilian guide in 17' Nitro Bass Boat/*Bass Tracker 165 at Rio Araca Lodge); complimentary quality fishing tackle (Falcon rods and Shimano reels and select top water lures); 6 days of fishing; all meals; open bar (Brazilian beer, wine and liquor); daily laundry and maid service; Brazilian Fishing License

Amazon Queen 

Operates  from October 2, 2009 - February 27, 2010

For anglers that want the ultimate combination of luxury and adventure, the Amazon Queen is the perfect choice.

You'll live on the Queen during your whole trip, departing each morning by  Nitro boat with a guide and  fishing partner, returning each evening for dinner, a nightcap and sleep.

This 85-foot, three story, floating hotel offers comfort, convenience and privacy for up to 20 passengers. The Queen's air conditioned cabins feature private baths and bunk-type beds. A spacious dining room and a top deck lounge/observation area are perfect for gathering with other adventurers to talk about the day's fishing or just watch the jungle glide by. There's even an onboard tackle shop, stocked with everything you need to fish the Amazon.

The kitchen is fully stocked, too. Our chef is waiting to provide some of the best meals you'll find anywhere-let alone a luxurious boat floating through remote and exotic waters.

The Queen is equipped with a satellite phone for constant communication with the outside world.

The trip price of
$5,950 per person, includes the same features as the Rio Negro Lodge as listed above.
