Accessible Visitor Guide
We believe everyone should be able to experience the magic of a Top End fishing charter. This guide is designed to help you plan your visit with confidence, providing information on accessibility from booking to boarding.
Getting Here – Accessible Transport
-
Car & Drop-off: The Stokes Hill Wharf precinct offers accessible parking bays close to our departure point. Access is available from the parking area to the wharf walkway.
-
Taxis & Rideshare: We recommend advising your driver of the Stokes Hill Wharf drop-off zone, which offers flat, paved access to the boarding area.
-
Public Transport: The nearest bus stops are in the Darwin CBD, approximately 5-10 minutes away by wheelchair-accessible taxi. The Darwin Waterfront provides a free shuttle service around the water front facilities.
Boarding & Vessel Access

Boarding: We board the Salty Brumby via the decks of Cape Adieu which is accessed from a stable gangway with a gentle slope. The angle of the gangway may change with tides, our crew are available to assist if required.

Deck Access: moving from the Cape Adieu to the Salty Brumby requires a medium level of fitness and mobility
