Top Cat Charters
Top Cat Charters offers unforgettable outings for groups and individuals alike. Whether you're planning an exciting family gathering, corporate day, or birthday on the water, this crew has several private trips to meet your needs. All trips are available year round, so pick a date and join. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome aboard.
You'll be fishing on a 36' vessel by Whangarei Boat Builders. This catamaran has a perfect size for both fishing and partying, with a large deck at the back and a spacious rooftop area for relaxing. You can also use the cabin, bar, and galley area. There's enough space for 35 guests to join.
Explore the pristine waters of Lake Taupo and target Brown Trout or Steelhead Trout. The crew advises trolling for these fish, but you can also try bottom fishing, spinning, and jigging. As these trips are a mix of fishing and relaxation, you can be a part of the action, and then see how others do from the rooftop.
Years of skipper and host experience have made this crew ready for every type of trip. They provide all fishing equipment you'll need and cover your licenses. You'll also have water, coffee, and tea on the boat but bring your own snacks. After the trip, the crew will also clean and fillet your catch free of charge.
The Top Cat Charters crew takes pride in their ability to adjust each trip to their guests' needs. Let them know how you imagined your day and book a trip!

Tim and his fam crew were great and helped us catch trout in Taupo Lake during winter. We enjoyed our time in their boat and they made sure we were comfortable and looked after. They also host parties and events on their boat. I highly recommend booking Top Cat!
Hi Archie, Thanks for the kind words, you have a fabulous, loving family. Tim & Liv
