Taupo Boating & Fishing Charters
Taupo Boating & Fishing Charters is committed to tailoring a fishing trip to suit you. Fishing is the main focus but you can include other activities such as kayaking, a barbeque, a clay bird shoot, swimming, and many more. Come and discover the wealth of beauty on offer here.
Captain Dan Wood knows the Taupo waters like the back of his hand. He's fished all over the country and boasts experience like no other. He enjoys sharing stories and promises to use all his skills and knowledge to get you on the fish and to put a smile on your face.
Step aboard the luxurious 43' Pelin Eclipse. She is licensed for up to 23 guests, plus crew. If you'd like to include other activities or have your trip customised to suit a special occasion, just get in touch via FishingBooker before booking.
With your comfort in mind, the modern cabin is fitted with plenty of seating, a kitchen, toilet, and even a TV, WiFi, and an audio system to play from your devices. You'll be given tea and coffee throughout your trip. BYO alcohol and snacks will be placed into the onboard coolers, fridges, or freezers.
The boat's also a serious fishing vessel. Strong and sturdy, she'll take you to all the best fishing spots with ease. Troll with the downriggers, or try jig fishing to entice the bite of your target fish, and reel 'em in with top-of-the-line rods and reels.
This stunning lake compliments beauty with incredible fishing. Go after some tough-fighting and delicious fish for a thrilling and fruitful day. The famed Lake Taupo Rainbow Trout will give you a run for your money as you try to fill the boat with these beauties.
The 'hook-up' of the elusive and cunning Brown Trout makes for a heart-pumping memory. Capt. Dan will clean, bag, and freeze your catch, or prepare sashimi on board to share with the rest of your team as you return to port. Trips run whenever you want, so come aboard for a truly personalised experience. Let Taupo Boating & Fishing Charters look after you!

Most enjoyable trip with whanau and friends lovely facilities on board Nice share of local knowwdge of iwi and landmarks, fishing etc There was a push bike rally in Taupo today which either restricted or closed off streets to access the marina🙄- way outside the control of Dan,Ree and co. Whomever organisers the bike event - use common sense for those who need to access boat Marina because there were event helpers who were not sure and a lot of finger pointing. even Dan and Ree had difficulty accessing the Marina! Enjoyable day for all 14 of us!
Thank you Caroline for your kind review. The friendly nature of all your extended family members bought with it a genuine atmosphere of friendship and fun. The fishing team were keen and participated with enthusiasm. The delightful senior Nana's were lovely ladies. Fishing was challenging but the team gave it a good go. Please thank the whole team from us. Kind regards Cap'n Dan and Rhi
With a beautiful boat, a gentle and kind captain, and Rhi who helped us so much, we had such a wonderful and relaxing time with my parents. It was truly an amazing trip, and we felt so comfortable and happy throughout. Thank you so much. We will definitely recommend you to many people, and we will book again. See you again soon!
What a wonderful day we had with you and lovely family. The sun was out, the wind gone, the fishing started off hard but your catch of 3 top conditioned Rainbow Trout. Hey, did you like our Sashimi? Dod you cook your fish in the oven yet? Next time well show you how to Jig Fish for Trout. Take care and say Hi to Mum and Dad from Rhi and I.
we had a great day out. we caught 7/8 fish, kept 3 for dinner. the crew were friendly and really helpful. loved the stories from Dan the skipper. thank you very much, my family loved it. Ronnie
Thank you Ronnie. We enjoyed the company of your family. Lovely personable and fun group. We look forward to meeting you all again but as you said, its challenging to get a young adult family all in one place these days. Many thanks from Dan and Rhi.
Had a lovely 3 hours on the water on a perfect autumn day, great hospitality from Dan and Rhi. Caught 4 rainbow trout (2 returned) and fresh sashimi on our way back while learning about the local area and culture. Thanks again!
Wow, that was a great catch. The pleasure of both your company will be remembered. Hope we get to see you again soon. Great times with our ANZAC Bro. Thank you for your review. Kindest regards, Dan and Rhi.
Such an amazing day! So glad we booked last minute, it was totally worth it. We even caught three fish despite the rough waves! Huge thanks to Captain Dan for being so patient and accommodating with us beginners, and thank you Rhi! ☺️
Hello Roselle. It was wonderful to have you and Roul onboard again. A few changes and now a lovely little daughter. I really enjoyed meeting your Mum and Dad. All three of the Fisher Persons caught good condition Taupo Rainbow Trout. I hope you enjoyed your meal. Do come again, Rhi and I both felt like old friends. You are lovely people. Kindest regards, Cap'n Dan and First Mate Rhi.
