  FISH ON!!

  Half Day Trip – Sole Snapper on November 13, 2025 • 2 adults

  We had a fantastic fishing trip.The weather was perfect and Captain Ross and his First Mate Harley couldn't do enough make us welcome. Ross put us straight on to the fish. My partner, Carol, had never fished before and Ross and Harley coached and helped her all the way and she was soon catching fish like a pro. We soon caught enough keepers, as we still had plenty of time Ross took us for a tour of some of the Ilands and a stop over at Otehei Bay which was beautiful. Ross also suggested going to Oceans 68 Fish and Chip shop who cooked some of our catch for us beautiful!! Nothing better than fresh caugt fish. Thank you Ross and Harley.

  We had a family of 6 with a 16 and 10 year old and it was nonstop fun. The crew were knowledgeable and gracious. Would definitely come back to fish with them again!

  Fishing with Ross

  Custom 4 hr snapper charter on December 20, 2025 • 2 adults

  We loved that we only had to travel for 20mins and we were on the fish. Thanks for allowing me to catch my first Kingfish and John Dory, especially on my Birthday. A relaxed and enjoyable fishing trip that was fun and friendly, thanks for a great day out. 😊

  Perfect in every way

  Half Day Trip – Sole Snapper on November 15, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

  Perfect trip. As requested it was a short trip in calmer waters in order to accommodate our family members prone to seasickness. Captain got us on the fish immediately. Everyone had a great time and nobody got sick!
