Double Rum Fishing Charters

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.

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.
