Rio Negro Overview
Rio Negro Overview
Amazon Fishing Experience - January to March
The mighty Rio Negro is world-famous for its giant peacock bass. Guests on this trip enjoy an incredible fishery that will test the strongest of equipment. Guests enjoy full days on the water and jaw-dropping scenery and abundant wildlife.

Accommodations: The stunning Umuarama yacht is 130 feet long and was built with classic Brazilian luxury in mind. With beautiful Brazilian hardwood inlays throughout the ship, this 3 level yacht offers extreme comfort and class with plenty of room to roam.

What makes this location unique:
Size: In 6 days of fishing, we will cover an area that is 10 miles long and 7 miles wide (70 square miles). Guests will never see the same water twice.
Variety: This part of the Rio Negro comprises rivers/streams/lakes/ponds/lagoons/sandbars/submerged jungle combined. The variety that our guests experience here is mind-boggling.
Expected catch rates: We aim for 1,100 fish landed per week with 10 guests, with 10% of those fish being double-digit in pounds.
Lunches aboard our mothership and afternoon siestas in your own air-conditioned cabins. Note: other outfitters here do "all dayers" to conserve fuel, meaning that lunches are served in the jungle without an opportunity to rest.
Guests will experience opportunities to cast to multiple double-digit peacock bass every day.
Live aboard our beautiful mothership adorned with stunning Brazilian hardwoods throughout the interior. Originally designed to hold 23 Guests, we've customized the staterooms to be single-occupancy! That's right, enjoy your own private cabin with a private hot water bath for the same price that others are charging for double occupancy with a shared bathroom.

Rio Negro Overview

Amazon Fishing Experience - January to March

Nomadic Waters is a top-notch outfit! We spent limited time in any city, and were escorted when we did leave the airport & hotel. The mothership was a great base camp in support of our fishing. The food and the service was outstanding. A good mix of traditional Brazilian fare (lots of fish) and typical american (tacos, pizza). The amount of pristine white sand encountered was a pleasant surprise. The fishing was great! These fish definitely pull above their weight class! The guides were always smiling - even after they've unhooked your snag for the umpteenth time that day! This was my first trip with Nomadic waters, but I'm hoping it won't be my last!

I would do this trip again. Loved everything.

We had another great trip- The hospitality, food, and new mother ship were awesome! The guides are the best in the business.

By Jon K for Rio Negro-Mothership-Jan 31st-Miles on Feb 18, 2026

First time to Brazil and would definitely book another trip with Nomadic Waters. The scenery and environment was beautiful, but the service was what impressed me most. The guides worked hard for you every day. The kitchen and hospitality staff were friendly and always delivered delicious food, refreshing drinks, and clean rooms - all with a smile and terrific attitude. Thank you Michael, Matt, and entire team for the positive and memorable experience.

This was my 9th trip to the Amazon with Nomadic Waters and I rarely do anything more than once! Every worry and detail you can think of has already been taken care of before your first flight leaves the United States. Greeted after clearing customs at the airport by a smiling face and shuttled right to your hotel for some rest. Multiple different adventures to choose from the first day or you can stay and rest at the hotel. Fly to the mothership the next day and again greeted by smiling faces and cold drinks. As you settle in lunch is prepared and Michael goes over every detail and is available almost 24 hours a day for questions and advice. The scenery is amazing and the fishing is just as good or better. Every guide he employs works harder than you think possible. Language is no barrier, the guides are happy to demonstrate anything they can’t audibly explain. The rooms are cleaned daily and laundry is done daily. Truly a one of a kind trip of a lifetime ( I just choose to keep going back ). Thank you Michael and crew! See you next year!
