If you are looking for a trip for your next event, then Double Rum Fishing Charters will be the perfect match for you. From team building to stag parties and corporate events to birthday parties, whatever your plans, Captain Brett Fleetwood will be able to accommodate you.

Capt. Brett has been fishing his whole life, and now takes great pleasure in teaching the people how to fish. He takes great enjoyment watching you reel in your first ever catch.

Step on board his recently restored 42' Catamaran. Groups of 10 will love the space and amenities on board. There are four double cabins and a DVD Plasmas screen for movies and a stereo system. On board, there is a barbeque and fully equipped galley.

There is also a brand new high fishing concept on board – at 14' above the water, and with a 360-degree view, there is a huge potential in this chair for spotting the big ones creeping up into the wake.

This boat has twin 200 HP Volvo engines which will get you out to the fishing ground before you know it. Full navigational equipment, including fishfinder, will help you keep your lines in the water.

The day will be spent targeting Snapper, Gurnard, Skipjack Tuna (when in season), Kingfish, Kahawa, and Hāpuku in winter. These are awesome fish to go after. You'll use top quality rods and reels, which are provided, that won't let you down when reeling them in.

Also included in the price are the live bait, lures, and fishing license. You'll need to bring along food and drink, and plenty of enthusiasm!

There is no better time to book and start making lifelong memories with Double Rum Fishing Charters.

    Best day fishing E-V-E-R

    Full Day Trip on October 20, 2022 • 10 adults

    The skipper and DoubleRum crew, really looked after our group of 9, for our Wedding Boys day fishing trip. The fish caught on the day exceeded all our expectations, with a full quota of snapper, in record time. We all had a blast of a day on the water. To finish off a great trip, with anchor and fresh cooked fish onboard enjoyed by all. We can not speak highly enough of the hospitality shown by the DoubleRum crew. To the skipper, thank you so much, from all of the wedding party, for an awesome day fishing. This will not be our last trip, definitely planning our next trip on the DoubleRum 😄🐟🐟🐟👍

    Best Captain in New Zealand

    Full Day Trip on July 21, 2022 • 10 adults

    The captain's manners were nice to him. The description of the safety and behavior that guests should observe on board was wonderful The first time a boat fishing was given to customers, they were convinced that they could catch the fish and the sense of stability that overcomes fear Thank you so much for adding enough fish fishing and shipboard sightseeing in the Pacific Ocean to your guests. The satisfaction of the guests for the tour was the highest Next time I go fishing, I'll choose Captain Brett 100% Brett always treats his guests with laughter.

    Great Day on the water

    Full Day Trip on December 21, 2022 • 6 adults

    We had a great time on the Double rum charter. The crew was phenomenal and very helpful. We caught lots of red snapper and a few king fish. Ran into the tax man(sharks) a few times as well. Hands down the best fishing charter ive been on. (Im Canadian and fish 150 days a year in Canada). If you love catching fish, this is the place to be in Auckland.

Spectacular day!
Full Day Trip on March 21, 2025 • 6 adults

We had the very best time with this boat and crew. We caught so many fish, it was more catching than fishing! We mentioned that we wanted to see blue penguins and Captain Brett made sure we saw them. We had dolphins racing our boat and saw whales too! We had a great onboard lunch cooked for us. The mate, Leon, was excellent as well, always ready with bait. We could not have asked for a better way to spend the day. We highly recommend this charter. So worth it!!

Great stag do
Full Day Trip on October 25, 2024 • 10 adults

An amazing and excellent day out. Brett and his crew were amazing and very on hand to help with anything and everything, knew exactly where the fish were and got us landing loads and decent sizes too. Also saved and help out a couple kids stuck in the gusty wind on the way back to shore. So all up we couldn't have asked for anymore from them. Cheers Highly recommended to anyone

Been on the ocean since I was a kid. I enjoy watching people have a great time on our vessel. I don't fish much myself now, so I really enjoy driving and watching and teaching people the best techniques.
