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

Me and they boys went out and scored about 20 solid teriki and other species such as pink moumou, pori and more. Definitely recommend 👌
that's awesome Elijah, 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
