The Carlo offers comfort and convenience in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Karl Kleimeyer the ships owner and master has 27 years experience fishing the swain region, eight years fishing the Gulf and Arnhem Land waters and 10 years fishing Papua New Guinea waters. For 27 years, the Carlo has been a family run business, and we pride ourselves on our personalized service.

The Carlo was built in Karl’s back yard at Cabbage Tree Creek and it took four years to build her. Karl’s Dad organised the timber, the boat builders and materials producing a very strong, seaworthy vessel. Karl’s Mum christened the Carlo, which was a very proud moment. It was just a shame Karl’s Dad was not alive to witness it.
