Great Day Out!
Winter 8 hour trip (6 people) on March 1, 20266 adults

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.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I love wildlife and the sea, so I fish as much as possible and dive when I can. I have skippered many charter vessels besides Riko Riko, both big and small, but she has been in my care for over 12 years now, and I'm still improving in places. Old is gold, and wood is good, and the fish seem to love swimming around her, that's for sure.
