Kalua Boat Hotel - Negro
Location - Rio Negro, Brazil
Type: Boat
The newest peacock bass operation in the Amazon Basin is the Kalua, a Brazilian "Boat Hotel" that is 95 feet
long and has a draft of less than 4 feet. Captained by one of seven IGFA representatives in Brazil, the classic
Amazon riverboat can comfortably accommodate from 8 to 14 fishermen in quality single and double rooms.
 The Kalua offers nine 21-foot aluminum boats rigged with cushioned seats, 30 hp outboard motors and 44-pound thrust electric trolling
motors. Very experienced guides from the fishing area are assigned to each boat which holds 2 anglers. The fishing boats have a cooler with
drinks including beer, water and sodas, plus sandwiches and a grill for cooking fish, in case anglers decide not to return to the boat for lunch.
Our 6-day fishing trip begins on Sunday and we
fish several tributaries of the Rio Negro from Barcelos to Santa Isabel including the Demeni,
Caures, Rio Branco tributaries, Araca, Ataui, Padauri, Cuiuni, Uneuixi and Jurubaxi among others. Our kitchen
and bar services are first class and there will always be a bilingual guide on board with the fishermen.
