The Iron Lady
MV Iron Lady is a 65’ classic, luxury motor yacht, equipped to fish or explore the world's most remote and beautiful places, whilst still experiencing the standards of quality, service and comfort you would expect from a luxury hotel.
She is fully air-conditioned with an interior dining room plus two external dining and relaxing areas on the aft and top decks. Air-conditioned cabins with en-suites provide the opportunity to enjoy a sound nights sleep after a big days fishing, as well as an escape from the heat or your noisy friends. Iron Lady is equipped with full satellite telephone and communication facilities.
The vessel has a spacious top deck incorporating a large BBQ and dining table to seat 12. This is often the venue for our evening meal when we record and remember the catches (and losses) of the day. The air-conditioned saloon area has a modern galley with ample dining area and entertainment system enabling you to view video and still images of your days fishing. The aft deck is a spacious open area that has access to outside amenities (toilet & shower).

Billfish, Sailfish, Marlin AND Barramundi. Australia's most exciting new fishery - September to December.
"Fishing for billfish and barra sounds like an odd mix but this remote island in the lower Gulf of Carpentaria offers excellent opportunities for both species - and heaps more! ". "You'll be hearing a lot more about this amazing area in the future"
