Diverse Boat Hire & Charters is your ticket to the stunning waters of Nelson. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Noah is prepared to put you on fish.

Blue Cod, Gurnard, Hapuka, John Dory, Queensland Groper (Giant Grouper), Pink Snapper, Tarakihi, White Trevally, Yellowtail Amberjack, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go.

You'll target your catch by spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your boat for the day is a 26' Aluminum fishing boat with capacity for 8 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Diverse Boat Hire & Charters!
