Target Charters has a seasoned captain and professional crew to help you land your dream catch. They know the local waters, and will prepare for the trip, to select the best lures, lines, and tackle.

Join them on board their boat, a 35’ offshore sport fisherman with a special V hull specifically designed for the waters off of New Zealand. It can comfortably hold up to 8 anglers, fishing at the same time. The boat is powered by a 370 HP Iveco engine, giving it more than enough power to get you to your fishing grounds in no time. There’s a full-head toilet on board for comfort on longer trips.

The main departure point is B27, Bay of Islands Marina, Opua. However, pick ups can be arranged from Paihia Wharf or Russell Wharf if required. Whether you want to go after some big fish, celebrate your anniversary, birthday or a company win, fishing trips with these fishermen might be exactly what you’re looking for.

SpotX Fishing Charters has been getting groups on that fish of a lifetime for well over 30 years. They offer a range of trips targeting the best fish the Bay of Islands and the Three Kings can throw at you. Step aboard for anything from five hours to five days, and go after species as varied as Kingfish and Swordfish. You won’t find a better crew or a wider mix of trips anywhere else in the Bay.
