Riko Boat Charters 

Fantastic fishing experience with Captain Bryan! I had an amazing day out fishing with Bryan! As a complete beginner, I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and knowledgeable he was. He genuinely looks after everyone on board and takes the time to explain everything clearly. Bryan really knows his stuff! He showed me some great fishing techniques, and thanks to his guidance, I managed to land some seriously big snapper! Couldn’t have asked for a better captain or a better first fishing experience. Highly recommend Bryan, especially if you’re new to fishing. I’d definitely go out with him again!

it was amazing!!! professional crew, nice equipment, captain knows where is the fish!!!

"Fantastic day out on the water! Captain Bryan was knowledgeable and put us right on top of the fish. The boat is comfortable and well-equipped. He took good care of us. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a great day of fishing. We’ll definitely be back!"

Bryan was great, knowledgeable, helpful and Riko Riko was a great boat. This was a family trip and a great way to fish and spend time together. Everyone caught fish, a few more keepers would have been nice but that’s fishing! We took home some lovely fish and even better memories. Will definitely book again.

I came from colorado to visit the brother I never met before. we had a wonderful time. Sung a lot of karaoke. got a lot of little fish at first. Then, towards the end for some reason.The big ones started hitting. we really had a blast!!. Captain Brian is top notch!! 10 out of 10...

We had a great time! Caught lots of fish and saw some beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend.

After 16 years away from New Zealand, I had the incredible opportunity to return home and experience the Hauraki Gulf like never before. My time on the water with Skipper Bryan made it all the more special. Bryan's deep knowledge of the area and his friendly, genuine personality created a truly memorable experience for our family. This was our children's first boat trip, and thanks to Bryan's expert guidance, they had an amazing time. My son Logan even caught his biggest fish ever – a beautiful snapper – while a shark bit my snapper in half mid fight, all which made the day extra special. Bryan was fantastic with the kids, making sure everyone was involved and enjoying the experience. Total catch, 99 and 1 snapper head. Being on my home waters again after so many years was truly nostalgic, and Bryan's professionalism and enthusiasm brought it all to life in a way that I’ll never forget. It is obvious he enjoys what he does, and has an incredible respect and love for the ocean and it was a pleasure fishing with him. I wholeheartedly recommend Skipper Bryan to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in the Hauraki Gulf. I'll definitely be booking again next time I'm home!

Our family had a wonderful trip. Captain Riko was very friendly and teach everybody very carefully. Most of our family had never tried fishing at sea, but with the captain's careful instruction, each of us caught snapper over 30cm in length. It will be an amazing trip you may want to try!

Bryan was an amazing captain and very knowledgeable about fishing. My colleague and I had the best time out sea connecting with each other and went away home with enough to feed our families. Would definitely recommend this charter to anyone who wish to make sure you catch something and fell completely comfortable doing it. Thank you Bryan

My husband and I had a fabulous time and caught more fish than we ever had on a fishing charter! Brian knew all the great fishing spots and helped with all the best techniques, Highly, highly, highly recommend!
