Amazing morning spent with captain Maurice at the helm and Jag looking after us on the deck, they went above and beyond our expectations, what an awesome crew.
Highly recommend heading out with Target Charters.Damien P Kennedy recommends Target ChartersFished December 2017

We felt sad when it finished, we were leaving two new found friends, the charter was a joy, the two staff could not have been any better, I highly recommend Target Charters.

Great first time experience. Although we didn’t catch many fish. We went 3 different spots with different Deapth; but not a lot of success. Captain Ross and Alex were great. We had fun.

We had to postpone our trip due to bad weather but it finally lifted and we went out on Sunday, 9/08/2015. Skipper and crew were great and we were onto snapper straight away. The fish were plentiful but mostly just under size. Tried several spots but the hungry little buggers were everywhere. Lots of fun and continuous action. We took home two good eating size snapper which was all we could handle as we were at the end of our trip. Good boat, great crew. Good communication, as we had to reschedule due to bad weather. Would take this charter again if I get back to Paihia (maybe later in the year when the big snapper are on the chew).

Hi Ray
So glad you enjoyed your day especially after having to wait for weather to behave. Yes the Skipper said the fish were plentiful but on the small side but at least you had some fun and got some keepers to sample. If you ever get the opportunity to come back we would love to take you out again, the snapper come in to sporn November/December so that would be a great time to do another Snapper Charter
