If you have the money to spend then spend it here! One of the best experiences you can have. I am already planning when I can go back for a 3rd time

Great experience with a knowledgeable outfit. We felt safe and taken care of the entire time.

My trip with Acute Angling on the Rio Negro via the BlackWater Explorer was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all our expectations.

The food and beverages were plentiful, diverse, and simply added to what was a fishing trip of a lifetime. Our fishing guide, Sebastian, was outstanding, very skilled and experienced, and worked as hard as he could to put us on abundant and large Peacock Bass every day. I highly recommend Acute Angling and will certainly be booking them again for my next Amazon fishing adventure! Thank you Acute Angling! Less

Great trip, absolutely met expectations. We went on the multi-species trip and it did not disappoint. Took our 9 year old boy with us and he had a great trip as well. Felt safe all the time, food was awesome, accommodations first class for being so remote and the fishing as good as we could have hoped for. We also did the arapaima add on day and had a blast.

What an outstanding and amazing trip we had. It was everything and more than we expected. No problems with our flight and Eddy was waiting for us at the airport. The overnight stay at the hotel was perfect to recharge our batteries. Very clean, and the food/buffet there was inexpensive and delicious. The float plane ride in was awesome....the scenery was great, best sight was landing and seeing the barge. Arrival onboard was so smooth, Lucio ( spelling ? ) helped us all get settled, we had a nice lunch and then out fishing. The long, long casts definitely can wear you down in the heat and humidity, but knowing that the next cast could be a grande' kept me going. The boats took a while to get used to. I wish the 2 anglers were separated father apart for ease of casting. Neither of us would take the chance and stand on the elevated front deck. Stand up butt seats would definitely help take off some of the back strain too. Fishing was tougher than we both thought it would be....keep casting ! Definitely you are a fisherman, not a catcherman ! Our biggest peacock apiece was 13 lbs, biggest of the trip was another angler with a 14. We were hoping for even bigger, but that's fishing. Loads of fish in the 5-9 lb range. The food was excellent....amazing. Angela, our chef, kept us all well fed and we all gained a few lbs. We also had a great group of guys ( 4 others ), and it was nice sitting down for all meals with them and Lucio to shoot the breeze. I would love to do this again...can my shoulders and hands take it? By the end of the week, our hands were swollen and tired from casting and casting, but you had to commit to it. So glad that I went with Acute Angling!!!Andrew Stone was great assisting me and answering ALL of my questions.Thanks for an amazing life adventure ! Less

I went on the floating bungalow trip and it was one of the best fishing trips I've had. I caught multiple double digit peacock bass and lots of smaller ones along with other species. We saw all kinds of wildlife and birds too! All the staff were excellent, from the host in Manaus, to the cooks, guides, and camp host, everyone was great and the food was incredible.... More

Always a great experience, with every detail handled perfectly. I can't wait to take my third trip with Acute!

Recently returned from an Acute Angling floating bungalow trip – my 4th trip with Acute – and can say without reservation or exception that it was another unique, remarkable, and enjoyable experience.Our fishing guides Brahma and Raimundo were exceptional. They were flexible and responsive; endlessly patient; they consistently put us on fish; and we enjoyed many laughs and a great time despite an inconsequential language barrier beyond “fishing English”. These gentlemen were accomplished professionals, and it was a privilege fishing with them both.Our camp host Jose was truly a Renaissance man. Such a pleasure to spend time and converse with him. He’s visited 54 countries, speaks eight languages, and is another seasoned professional on the Acute Angling team that orchestrated the best possible experience in camp. Expert in jungle survival and first aid, jungle fauna and flora, and very many other skills. This fascinating gentleman has “been there and done that”, and inspired ease and confidence in the entire operation.The food during our stay was utterly delicious. Our head-chef and sous-chef Mariza and Dora somehow created three delicious mains for breakfast (eggs, pancakes, French toast – all with bacon and sausages) and for dinner (a different fish, chicken, beef dish every night). The variety of mains, soups, sides, fruits, and baked goods every day was astounding. All colored with local culinary influence; meals were simply great - never mind made by themselves, and from a 6x10 foot camp kitchen. You’d come just for the food.Crucial to the experience were also our supporting camp staff. Benny’s subtle and observant ministrations were just perfect, keeping us in drinks, snacks, and safety. Junior was instrumental in keeping the camp’s electro-mechanical machinations operating smoothly. The efforts of other less visible staff were also clearly essential and sincerely appreciated. The camp runs like a Swiss watch under Jose’s careful orchestration.Our ground support in Manaus – Eddy and Tainah – were also instrumental in making our Brazil arrival and departure, and jungle insertion and extraction all exceptionally smooth. They really know the ins-and-outs and put a bow on the whole package from start to finish.Taken together, the staff and the overall experience far exceeded the sum of its parts. The concerted effort of this Acute Angling team is obvious, and the US and in-country support staff on the logistic and administrative lead up and close out just made things so much smoother and easier.Been fishing with Acute since 2007. Really a polished operation, and one that I hope to be fishing with for years to come. I’m as pleased with the new ownership as I was with the previous. A very safe bet and a remarkable adventure fishing value in my opinion. Less

Fantastic trip. My son and I caught over 650 fish in the week. At least a dozen over 10 pounds, I think the biggest was 15 pounds.

I have used many different Outfitters (I think 6 or 7) over the years, and I can say that there are most certainly differences between Acute Angling and the others I have used. Acute Angling is BY FAR the BEST. It is amazing what they have done to make everything from booking the trip, booking your flights, booking your transportation from the airport, booking your hotel rooms, helping you get around Manaus, booking your Arapaima fishing trip (if you choose to do one...and you should), booking your flights into the Amazon (to the boat) ...having GREAT reliable gear to fish with, great guides, great fishing boats (clean), great camp, great food, and great staff...you simply cannot go wrong using them! I have had some horrible experiences with other Outfitters...I can say with absolute comfort and assurance...you will not have a bad experience with Acute Angling...they are an Outfitter who understands what a Fisherman wants and gives that to them. I have already told ALL my fishing buddies that our next trip is with Acute Angling. I am convinced that they are the BEST...I hope to see you out there fishing! Less

Our trip on the Blackwater Explorer was nothing short of amazing. The boat is comfortable and a great home base for the week. The food was plentiful and delicious and the staff took great care of us. The fishing….well it’s the first time I’ve ever been on a catching trip. My buddy and I caught over 100 peacock bass each day with 155 being our best day. My expectations for this trip was high and they exceeded that. I guess the best compliment I can give them is I’ve already booked two future trips with them. Give them a call, you won’t be disappointed. Less
