Arafura Bluewater Charter Boat Fleet

Owner operator Steve Compain has over 26 years experience fishing the NT waters and searched the nation for the perfect NT bluewater vessel. He was instantly impressed with Badenach Enterprise’s vessels.

George Badenach, a perfectionist and long time cray fisherman built the custom made vessels in Smithton Tasmania. Over the past 3 years George has built 2 quality vessels for Arafura Bluewater Charters, the Wai Tui and the Wai Adi. They are safe, fast, modern and very comfortable for day and extended charters.

The third vessel is Tere Tiki and although not a Badenach vessel is a favorite for many. All vessels are in NT survey, regularly maintained and in excellent condition.

Wai Adi

Wai Adi is our brand new vessel launched in May 2008, she is a sister ship to Wai Tui with the addition of an air-conditioned cabin and 8 berths. She will cruise a little faster on 24knts.  Perfect for extended charters and extra comfort for day charters.

Wai Tui

Wai Tui was built in July 2006, we consider Wai Tui to be the perfect NT Blue water fishing vessel. She is fast, modern with ample deck space for comfortable fishing.  Built in Tasmania by Badenach Enterprises she is a 13.5m Mark Ellis Design custom built fishing vessel.
