John Kim5.0VerifiedHalf day trip with captain Collin
Summer Shared Trip (AM) - Weeekday on October 2, 2017 • 1 adultCollin & Phillip are very gentle & friendly. They are perfect.
Tim Evans5.0VerifiedGreat Day Out!
Summer Shared Trip (AM) - Weeekday on September 18, 2019 • 2 adultsLovely slow sturdy old boat, just what I like. I loved the fact that we didn't have to organize anything, as the gear, bait and even filleting was provided. Colin is a fantastic captain, very knowledgeable with amazing stories about his past experiences both here and abroad, spanning many decades. Very accommodating, when the weather did not comply, to reschedule at a time that suited. I went with my Dad, who was flown over from New Zealand as a surprise for my birthday, and we both enjoyed the day immensely. We caught plenty of fish, more than enough to feed the family waiting at home. Overall it was an awesome experience, and can't wait to do it again.
Simon Wallis4.3VerifiedHalf day trip (advertised as 7 hours)
Summer Shared Trip (AM) - Weekend on October 6, 2019 • 2 adultsThe skipper - lead deckhand and staff were very friendly and helpful. Weather wasnt good which limited moving to different spots once at sea - but also limited catching opportunities. My son and I only caught 1 fish each - some others didnt catch anything - nothing is guaranteed but that was a little disappointing and we started at 6:30am finished by noon. Its not deep sea fishing - just off the coast - so judge the value at $200 per head. Coffee facilities on board would have been welcome.

Gillian Brown4.3VerifiedSeptember fishing trip
Summer Shared Trip (AM) - Weekend on September 30, 2017 • 2 adultsPrompt confirmation and discussion of pick up options from Colin Pick up as arranged Good safety and fishing briefing Great crew encouragement from Phillip No fish which was disappointing for an 8 year old! Would be good if there was an option for a parent to pay and a child is free or a reduced price given the parent is unable to fish and only one rod was used.
Joshua Box4.0VerifiedFishing with Colin
Summer Shared Trip (AM) - Weekend on February 24, 2018 • 2 adultsThe boat and the crew were very friendly and informatative. Unfortunately the conditions were very poor and we were stuck out at sea not catching much with most people on board suffering from sea sickness. It was a really shame.

Philip Newton4.0VerifiedMorning Trip with Colin and Phil
Summer Shared Trip (AM) - Weekend on October 7, 2017 • 2 adultsThough the boat and the equipment was basic and some of it had seen better days. The expertise, helpfulness and friendliness of Colin and Phil made up for it. We hit some pretty big swells, but Colin navigated those well and took us some where a bit calmer! Overall a very enjoyable day!

Thanks guys, it was great to meet you both. Hope you enjoyed your feed. See you next time. Captain Colin

It was a shame that young Jeremy didn't catch a fish. The others aboard caught 20 fish between 8 anglers. All our vessels carry 20 to 30 fully rigged rods at all times to ensure there are enough for everyone. I was unaware that there was someone so young until after the booking had been completed but it was through Fishing Booker. When clients book direct we do offer discounts to minors but when using agents we pay a percentage ie: the deposit to the agent and find it hard to reduce any further. Thanks for your review Captain Colin
