Cast & Blast the Untouched Paraná Golden Dorado Fishing & Legendary Duck Hunting Aboard the Parana Gypsy

Hunt and fish where few ever set foot. This is a rare opportunity to pursue world-class waterfowl and Golden Dorado in some of the most exclusive, off-the-map waters and marshes on earth, far removed from other boats, lodges, and hunting pressure.

Based aboard the Parana Gypsy, Argentina’s only true mothership hunting and fishing program, this cast-and-blast adventure blends serious sporting opportunity with comfort, mobility, and unmatched access. Each day unfolds in new country, allowing you to hunt and fish pristine locations with no one else in sight.


A Floating Basecamp in the Heart of the WildThe Parana Gypsy is a fully remodeled, tri-level 70’ x 24’ catamaran designed specifically for elite hunting and fishing travel. With just four double guest cabins, each featuring en-suite bathrooms, climate control, and refined comfort, the experience is intimate, personal, and unrushed.

Unlike stationary lodges, the Gypsy’s mobility allows you to explore remote stretches of the 3,000-mile Paraná River system, accessing lagoons, deltas, marshes, tributaries, and backwaters that few hunters or anglers ever reach. Every morning and afternoon brings new water, new birds, and new opportunities.

Legendary Duck HuntingArgentina is a bucket-list destination for waterfowlers, and this program showcases exactly why. From May through August, you’ll hunt up to eight species of ducks in staggering numbers.
Each morning begins with a short skiff ride to a private marsh or lagoon, where elevated blinds are already prepared. With exclusive access to private lands and unpressured waters, you’ll experience fast, consistent shooting and a wide variety of hunting scenarios.

Species include:
  • Multiple species of Teal
  • White-cheeked Pintail
  • Yellow-billed Pintail
  • Wigeon
  • Whistling Ducks
  • Shovelers
  • Rosy-billed Pochard — Argentina’s most coveted duck

Hunters may opt for a morning hunt and afternoon fishing session, or double up with two hunting sessions per day, harvesting up to 35 ducks in the morning and 15 in the afternoon, depending on conditions and preferences. Shotgun rentals are available, with guides selecting the right firearm for each day’s hunt.


World-Class Golden Dorado FishingIn the afternoons, the focus shifts to the Paraná’s apex predator, the Golden Dorado. Fishing from purpose-built Carolina skiffs equipped with twin casting platforms and powerful outboards, you’ll target Dorado along current seams, structure, and river edges where these aggressive fish hunt.

During the cooler months, spin and bait fishing are especially productive, delivering explosive strikes and unforgettable fights. In addition to Golden Dorado, anglers may encounter:
  • Pira Pita
  • Tararira (Wolf Fish)
  • Surubí (Catfish)
  • Chafalote (Paraná River “Vampire Fish”)
  • Various additional freshwater species

The Gypsy’s ability to relocate daily ensures you’re always fishing fresh, unpressured water, an advantage impossible to replicate from a fixed lodge.

Five-Star Comfort, Thoughtful HospitalityAfter full days afield, return to the Gypsy to unwind in comfort. Covered upper decks invite sunset drinks, conversation, and reflection, while gourmet dinners are prepared by a private chef using locally sourced ingredients, often including your day’s harvest.

Meals are paired with carefully selected Argentine wines, and service is fully attentive without being intrusive. Lunches may be served aboard, on remote sandbars, forest clearings, or river islands—wherever the day’s adventure leads.

Flexible, Immersive, UnforgettableWhile 4–5 days aboard the mothership is ideal, this is a flexible program tailored to your schedule. There’s no fixed itinerary, only opportunity, access, and time well spent in wild places.
For anglers seeking a fishing-only experience, this vessel also hosts the Golden Dorado River Cruiser program. For hunters, this cast-and-blast pairs seamlessly as an add-on to a Red Stag hunt, creating one of South America’s most complete sporting itineraries.

The Wandering Sportsman PerspectiveThis is not volume tourism. It’s a deliberate, deeply immersive sporting experience, designed for hunters and anglers who value access, authenticity, and the freedom to roam.
From first light in the marsh to the final cast at sunset, life aboard the Parana Gypsy delivers a rare combination of adventure, comfort, and exclusivity, one that defines what modern sporting travel should be.
