Live the Island life and discover some of Whitsunday’s natural attractions in comfort aboard Brilliant Company. The Nara Inlet caves and waterfall experience is a unique cruising tour that departs and returns from Hamilton Island Marina. Nara Inlet is nestled in the southeast end of Whitsundays Hook Island. This secluded bay is well known for its calm tranquil waters that reflect the dense forestry that covers the island’s steep hills. Within the hills of the inlet is the Ngaro cultural site has caves with ancient rock wall paintings and interactive displays where you can learn about the history of the Ngaro Aboriginal people. Press the many buttons provided to hear all about their history at Hook Island. A visit to Nara Inlet is not complete without venturing further down to the end of the inlet. Here you will find a magical fresh-water rock pool with a refreshing waterfall that seasonally flows in the wetter summer months. However, this natural waterfall only flows best during January, February and March. Topnotch also highly recommends indulging with a refreshing swim to cool down whilst sipping your favourite holiday beverage.

Fred Tarry is one of the most remarkable people we know & an outstanding fisherman! Fred is a young 66 years old & is legally blind! Nothing stops this incredible man from enjoying his fishing & we love having Fred & Jason onboard with the Topnotch team.

It’s A Pirate’s Life At Sea The Pirate is a custom build 34 ft sports fisher built locally in Cairns in 2003. Made by an experienced marlin captain Brad Craft, who teamed up with master boatbuilder Dick Ward in 1999. Between them, they produced four sports fishing boats under the PIRATE brand. Two 31 footers and two 34 footers. The Pirate and Saltaire (34 ft game boats) are well-known in the Cairns sports fishing industry as excellent fish raisers. This model has proven its sea-keeping ability in rough seas and agile, precise manoeuvrability to chase down a billfish quickly. With her good looks to match, the 34 footer certainly grabs the attention of many keen light tackle anglers. The boat is powered by twin Cummins B Series 280hp turbocharged six-cylinder diesel and fitted with Twin Disc gearboxes to control the transmission. With a comfortable cruising speed of 20 knots, we will have you at the fishing grounds in no time at all. Onboard Features Onboard there are high-quality GARMIN electronics fitted to ensure safe navigating at all times and of course, to find those fish off course. The vessel offers comfort and convenience; there is a toilet/shower, bar fridge in the galley. The open style shaded saloon has two spacious L-shaped lounge seats on both sides of the boat, making it ideal for watching all the fishing action.
