For the experience of a lifetime, Hawghunter welcomes you aboard The Santana I, for an exotic Peacock Bass fishing trip. This 100 foot live-aboard yacht, is the most modern on the Amazon, has six double suites and two double Master Suites each with its own bath, with a level of service and amenities normally associated only with luxury hotels. Aboard the yacht you don't have to forsake your comfort to experience the legendary explosive strikes and tackle busting power of the Amazon's native Peacock Bass.
The Santana Amazon, designed and built in the Amazons,
is ideally suited as a home base for exploring and fishing in the Amazon
region. With a draft over a meter shallower than most of the other fishing
hotel boats serving the area, it can travel in areas that others can't
get to during the low water (prime fishing time). Amenities include zone
air conditioning in all rooms and cabins, washer and dryer, sauna, three
separate Jacuzzi baths, room to room telephones, satellite telephone,
fax and Internet hookups, in cabin stereo, two master suites that are
unbelievable. An entertainment room equipped with satellite TV,stereo,
DVD, VCR, e-mail and Internet.
Electronics include two types of communications
radios (VHF & SSB), the most modern LowranceX-15 mapping and GPS system,
radar, sonar. The entire ship is appointed in handcrafted mahogany. The
beautiful and spacious dining room, upper deck main salon and aft deck
open air bar are favorite gathering places for guests after a day of fishing
or exploring the Amazon Rainforest'
What is most important is the fishing and we have signed new contracts with whom I believe to be the eight best Peacock bass guides in the Amazon.
Fishing
Boats Designed to Tame the Amazon The anglers will fish from new 2003 model Tracker bass boats powered by 4-stroke Honda motors. Designed for conventional and fly fisherman, they feature large clear decks with front and rear. Each day your guide will fill an ice chest with an assortment of beverages, fruits and snacks, sandwiches, so that you can fish all day without returning to the "mother ship", if you desire.
Tucunaré (too-coon-a-ray), as
Peacock Bass are locally known, is only
one of a long list of species which you can catch in the Amazon Basin.
The tucunaré is known as Brazil's freshwater ambassador, because
it's fierce top water strikes and tackle busting power has attracted adventurous
fishermen from all over the world. Reaching sizes over three feet long
and upwards of 25 pounds, the beautiful Peacock Bass makes for a formidable
adversary. They regularly break 30-lb mono and super braids of 80-lb and
greater strength, in addition to destroying lures, straightening hooks
and split rings, even breaking rods and exploding reels. Many consider
it to be the ultimate fresh water sport fish.
However, tucunaré are far from the only sport fish which you will be able to catch. The Amazon is home to over 2500 species of fish (some scientists say closer to 3000) many of which are not yet catalogued.
In addition to giant catfish up to 600 lb., you will have the opportunity to catch piranhas, a variety of other cichlids (peacock bass cousins), aruanas (another prehistoric hold out), traira (like walleye with teeth and an attitude), cachorras (Brazilian name for the fanged Payara) and many other species.
At the conclusion of your time aboard the Santana I, you will return to the city of Manaus. You will stay in the five star "Hotel Tropical" on the banks of the Rio Negro.
On your last night is include dinner and an open air show of regional Boi-Bumba dancers.
According to data from international aviation organizations, Manaus International Airport is the safest in Brazil. The people of the Amazon have much to be proud of, and seem to enjoy sharing their culture and unspoiled beauty of their homeland with us, their visitors.
