Sandspit Fishing Charters offer unparalleled access to the abundant waters of the Hauraki Gulf, a premier New Zealand fishing destination just an hour north of Auckland. Operating from the picturesque Sandspit Harbour, these charters provide direct routes to legendary fishing grounds around Little Barrier Island, Great Barrier Island, and the Mokohinaus Islands. Anglers target prolific species including hard-fighting kingfish, prized snapper, and endemic New Zealand sand flounder—a distinct local flatfish found in sandy shallows and harbors.
The region's diverse marine ecosystems support year-round fishing adventures, from adrenaline-fueled kingfish pursuits to relaxed bottom fishing for flounder. Northside Adventures' modern vessels, equipped with professional-grade tackle and electronics, accommodate both serious anglers and scenic sightseers. Whether booking a full-day expedition or half-day trip, guests experience the Gulf's sheltered coves, island vistas, and consistent action across inshore reefs and offshore pinnacles. No prior experience is needed, with expert crews tailoring techniques like jigging, trolling, or bottom bouncing to conditions and preferences.
Ideal for small groups and families, Sandspit charters combine accessibility with wild, unspoiled landscapes. Beyond the catch, voyages reveal secluded beaches, marine wildlife, and pristine waters—making every trip an immersion in New Zealand's coastal bounty. With flexible options from individual seats to private charters, these adventures capture the essence of the Hauraki Gulf's thriving fisheries.
