Captain was great and accommodated us very well for our company Fishing Competition - tried numerous different spots to catch fish. Although our staff didn't catch their limits, most got a nice feed of fish and even a couple of prizes were won. A great day out on the water.

thanks Fiona, great to hear everyone had a good day and they came in with prize fish too, bonus!
Wayne was our skipper that day, and Paul was the deckhand. Wayne guided us perfectly to the fish. Paul did a fantastic job filleting the fish, and we returned home with full freezers. I really appreciated that there weren't too many anglers on board that day, so we all had plenty of space. I'll definitely be back! Thank you so much!

thanks for taking the time Marc, we appreciate that. see you again sometime
My young fellas had a great day out, caught tarakihi, pink maumau and snapper. Excellent comms before hand and a helpful team on board

thanks Kylie awesome to hear the boys had fun and they would have been proudly to bring home dinner
The weather was good however there was a quite a bit of swell & the boat rolled a bit which made the trip a bit uncomfortable. It was a good 2 hour trip to the fishing spot or by mayor island . However we did manage to catch a bin full of fish . We did tangle our lines quite a bit onboard because of the swells & maybe a few too many fishermen onboard . The skipper & deckhand were helpful & experienced. Overall a good trip apart from the swells .
