Creating Lasting Memories in Franz Josef
Unlike standard fishing trips, this private charter is tailored to your group’s preferences, ensuring a personalised experience on the water. From focused salmon fishing to a relaxed BBQ cruise, the day is designed around how you’d like to spend it. With expert guidance on hand, even first-time anglers will feel at ease.
Alongside fishing, the scenery alone makes the trip worthwhile, with reflections of native forest and glaciers dancing across the lake. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot the elegant White Heron, adding to the sense of being surrounded by nature. The combination of fishing, scenery, and hospitality makes this charter a highlight of any Franz Josef visit.
