Fish & Cruise Wanaka
Fish & Cruise Wanaka
Fish & Cruise Wanaka provides a classic Kiwi adventure everyone should experience in their lives. You will not only fish and enjoy the scenery of this picturesque lake, but you’ll also enjoy a freshly cooked fish onboard. For at the end of the trip, the captain will clean and cook your catch on the boat, so you can have a truly authentic experience. The charter is run by Father and son duo David and Courtney.
Fishing will be done aboard a Reflex commercial boat with the capacity for 5 guests. It is powered by a 150 HP Evinrude engine, which makes it pretty fast and reliable on the water. It is equipped with all the safety and electronics required to make your trip a safe and successful one. You can use the fish finder to locate the best spots where the fish swim in schools, and by following the captain’s recommendations, you will be able to boat lots of them.
Lake Wanaka has a healthy population of Quinnat Salmon, Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout. You will be catching these species using the fishing gear provided by the captain, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Whether you are a novice angler or a pro, you will have a good time aboard by soaking up the scenery, breathing in the fresh air and catching delicious fish.

Fi Smith5.0VerifiedMorning with Gino
2 Hour Trip – 2 People on October 26, 2019 • 2 adultsFabulous morning. Gino was a fabulous guide, knowledgeable about the area and the fishing. We even had our fresh trout cooked up on the BBQ. Delicious! I would highly recommend Gino as a guide and the fishing experience that is provided. Great value for money and totally worth the early morning start. Thank you, we will definitely do next time we are in Wanaka.

Amazing fishing hete in Wanaka. Caught a huge salmon and both species of trout.
Second time round for us and it won't be our last. Captain Juno was both an excellent fishing guide, fisherman, and very knowledgeable about the lake, the fish species and the area in general. The trout fishing is by way of very slow trolling which in itself is an eye opener for an experienced salt water fisho like myself. If you only get to come to Wanaka once, you owe it to yourself to get out on the Lake and do something which not many people get a chance to do back home. Very highly recommended.
Hi Peter thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed your second time around with us - looking forward to the next one! Cheers.
My mate and I had a very enjoyable morning fishing on Lake Wanaka with Jeno from Fish & Cruise Wanaka. We left at 6 am on a beautiful December morning, just as the sun was coming up. We trolled for 3 hours and caught some lovely brown trout, up to around 4 pound. We kept 2 which we took home and cooked, both tasted lovely. Jeno is a very knowledgeable local who can tell you a lot about the local fishing and history. The boat was ideal for 2 fishermen and the equipment in very good shape. Jeno will even cook the fish on the boat for you if you want to taste your catch. Really enjoyed our morning fishing with Jeno and can thoroughly recommend Fish & Cruise Wanaka.
