Ready to catch some fish in Auckland? Look no further than NZ Legend Boating Academy! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Michael is prepared to put you on fish.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into John Dory, Kahawai, Pink Snapper, Kingfish, Bigeye Trevally, and anything else that bites. On these trips, it’s common to bottom fish using light tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to keep their stamina going!
Capt. Michael runs a 25' Rayglass 2500 cuddy cabin that can carry up to 5 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with NZ Legend Boating Academy.

6 Hour Trip – Shared
We had been on another boat fishing trip before this one. That boat fishing trip was actually our very first one, and we were really disappointed. The captain's attitude, his unclear explanations about address. It just didn't meet our expectations. He didn't even give us life jackets at the beginning. Throughout the trip, it was chaotic, noisy, and there was way too much moving around, so we couldn't fish for long at any one spot. But this time, the experience was completely different. He came out to greet us when we arrived, handed us life jackets as soon as we got on board, and was incredibly kind and welcoming. After reaching the first spot, we didn't move around at all, which allowed us to enjoy fishing in one place for a long time. Exactly what we were hoping for. The atmosphere on the boat was calm and peaceful, allowing us to fully focus on fishing. To top it all off, the captain even prepared sashimi from the fish he caught and served it with snacks and drinks. The boat was extremely clean and well-maintained, and unlike our previous trip, it even had a separate restroom. Considering how affordable this fishing trip was compared to others, both of us were more than satisfied. We highly recommend this captain's fishing tour to anyone! And if we ever go boat fishing again, we'll definitely be booking with him. No question about it!
