The boat was immaculate and clean. The facilities were excellent, but most importantly the Skipper Ash and deck hand Curtis were fantastic young men.
They are extremely polite, knowledgeable and full of banter like you would expect in the NT.
Awesome day out, thanks again to all the team
Highly recommend and see you again soon
Our skipper Ash was fantastic along with Chelsea who was also helpful. Ash was more then happy to position the boat where we wanted it and when. As this was for photography purposes. He was very accommodating and chilled with what we wanted - couldn't recommend him or yknot any more.
They exceeded expectation and to enjoy the display from this vantage point and with a platter and tunes was awesome to say the least!
When we first got to the boat ramp we met with Charlesy who was also great to deal with.
For the owner Charley’s these men Ash and Curtis are awesome ambassadors for your business. I have been on several Yknot charters before, however you now have another 7 new Yknot fans. Thanks again for a great day and I wish for your continued success. Until next time tight lines.
We caught a massive haul of Jewfish, Goldies, Tricky Snapper & some Tusk fish. Everyone went home happy and with a BIG bag full of filleted fish.
Thanks Boys you were amazing.
The boat was clean and comfortable, and the whole trip was well organised. You can tell Ash and Curtis are passionate about what they do, and they genuinely want everyone to have an unforgettable experience.
If you’re looking for a top-quality fishing charter in Darwin, I can’t recommend Yknot Fishing Charters highly enough.

The boys did an excellent job looking after all guests on board and Ash was sure to keep moving the boat whenever the fish were off the bite.
Plenty of fish caught to share amongst all guests.
Plenty of laughs, banter and good times. We’ll be doing it again with YKnot 👍

The boat was extremely comfortable, and equipped with everything needed for a great day on the water. We caught plenty of fish and had a lot of laughs along the way. Charles had more stories than markers - that’s what makes the charter tbh. His local knowledge and help from decky Curtis, they never stopped trying to put us onto the fish in trying conditions.
Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, I highly recommend Yknot Fishing Charters. Looking forward to booking another trip soon - maybe the run off. Great day.., highly recommended
They filleted our fish perfectly and gave us great tips throughout the day to help reel in some solid catches.
Thanks lads, was a great day — highly recommend!
We caught a bucket load of the elusive goldies haha 😄 and 2 huge jewies ,plus a whole bunch of other species.
Will definitely book again.

If you want to go on a charter with Yknot, definitely ask to go on a trip with JB if you can. A skipper I'd charter with again!
Being the wet season, it was hot and humid, but the water was reasonably calm and made a great day for boating. We didn't catch anything, but came across a ghost net, saw a sea turtle swimming by, and watched a storm pass over Darwin. It was a beautiful day.
The Yknot crew were lovely and kept us safe. I would go again on my own just to have a day out fishing.
For those who may be a bit older or have injuries, there is limited seating, so you may find your legs or back getting a bit tired after standing for long.
I was also given the option of paying for the charter in installments. I booked ahead and was able to pay over 2 months, I think this is great.
As a local and have been fishing all my life, I understand how fishing 'works', and even though we were unsuccessful, I had a fantastic day.

I could not recommend the experience and their service enough, great fishing, a very well-kept boat and heaps of refreshments and snacks. Dan's music taste is also excellent.
Keen to be coming back on the boat next time I'm up there. Thanks again!
Can't fault it, would definitely head out again with them.
If you are to only do 1 charter in the top end, these guys are the ones i would choose every day.
Thank you for making this a truly memorable night.
Thank you to decky Eoin & Captain Charlesy who made our Darwin trip epic, brilliant work! Highly recommend YKNOT!
He also gave us lots of fishing advice!
Thank you lots Dan your the best skipper ever from Jylah & Felicity 🙏🏾
100/10 👌🏾
We went with skipper Daniel and deckhand Mattie, they were very good and we had a good time
And Dan's play list is awesome.

Newly wrapped beast of a boat skippered by Dan who is the best in the business.
Only 4 x persons on board so very personalised and everything was well organised to ensure a great day.
FAST boat means more time fishing even though the travelling was ultra- fun too 😉
Thanks Team.
We had a fantastic afternoon/night fishing & we all caught fish!!!
Would highly recommend this trip for a fun fishing charter to anyone.
Well done Dan & Quinn!!
Thank you Ykots, we will be seeing you soon!
