Parana Gypsy Cast and Blast Riverboat Adventure

The Paraná River system spans more than 3,000 miles, providing a vast network of tributaries, deltas, marshlands and lagoons. This massive ecosystem is the driving force behind some of the most outstanding duck hunting you’ll ever experience. Each morning, you’ll hunt from the comfort of an elevated blind, taking aim at endemic South American species, such as rosy-billed pochards, white-cheeked pintail, as well as silver and speckled teal. After lunch on the mother ship, you’ll have the option to jump in a boat to experience some of the finest golden dorado fishing in the world. You may also be tempted to take the afternoon for R&R and to soak in the sights and sounds of the majestic Parana. The Gypsy’s mobility allows us to continually identify and operate from new, unpressured areas within the upper Paraná, which is an advantage to both hunters and fisherman no stationary lodge can possibly offer. During your Gypsy adventure, we will rotate hunting marshes and fish a variety of water types.

The Gypsy is 70’x24’ tri-level catamaran, built in the 1990s and recently refurnished and upgraded to host a world-class hunting and fishing operation. The mothership’s first level comprises four very comfortable double bedrooms and one single room, each with en suite bathrooms and equipped with air conditioning, heating, 24-hour electricity, and TV.
The second level has a meticulously restored meeting area, where you’ll share cocktails, meals and camaraderie. Just outside this area, you can relax on the deck between the day’s sporting sessions and after meals, perhaps enjoying a cigar, while taking in the majestic vistas of the river.
