If you're ready to get hooked on fishing in Auckland, Eco Adventures has you covered! Enjoy a premium private fishing experience aboard a top-tier vessel with an expert local skipper, perfect for groups of up to six guests. No experience is needed, and kids are always welcome.

With countless hours spent on these waters, Captain Johnny knows where to find the fish and how to turn a great day on the water into an unforgettable experience. The high-speed vessel cruises at up to 30 knots, getting you to the action faster so you can spend more time fishing, exploring, and enjoying the beautiful Auckland coastline.

Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf is world-class, with opportunities to catch Snapper, Kahawai, Trevally, John Dory, Gurnard, and more. For those looking to chase bigger game, and when conditions and seasons allow, we head farther offshore to target Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and other exciting species.

Everything you need for a great day of fishing is provided, including quality rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and ice. We’ll even catch live bait along the way! From your first enquiry to the moment you step back on shore, everything is taken care of. We’re responsive, reliable, and committed to delivering a seamless experience.

Just bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and anything you’d like to eat or drink. Then sit back, enjoy the ride, and get ready for that unforgettable moment when you hear: “Fish on!”

Great winter trip!
6 Hr – Fishing Trip on June 13, 20264 adults

Very well-equipped boat, experienced skipper, blue skies, and no wind. We saw gannets, a whale, dolphins, and penguins. It was great fishing and, most importantly, good fun! We had an amazing trip, tried different fishing styles, and came back with a bag of kahawais, snappers, and great memories. Highly recommended!

Caught fish
6 Hour - 3/4 Day Fishing Trip - 10:00 AM on June 19, 20264 adults

My adult kids and teen had a great time out on the water. Even in Winter it was a wonderful experience where we still caught more than one species of fish. Captain was courteous and hospitable and knowledgeable. Would do it again. Really helped that there was a toilet on board.

I've been on the water for as long as I can remember, but Eco Adventures is where it all came together. My background spans both corporate and creative worlds, mixed with years of international travel chasing surf, adventure, and time on the ocean. These days, I've channelled all of that into running premium fishing and ocean experiences, bringing people out onto the water, sharing local knowledge, and making sure every trip feels relaxed, safe, and genuinely memorable. For me, it's about more than just fishing; it's about helping people connect with the incredible coastline, islands, and marine life we're lucky to have here in New Zealand.
