Background: Having had a love of fishing for over 40 years, and owning my own aluminum boat, I came across an opportunity to buy a charter boat. So, with a life style change and relocating to the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, my wife and I bought Target Charters about 11 years ago and continue to operate in the Bay.

What a fabulous morning we had with Ross and Maurice. We fished, we laughed, we relaxed and had fun. Exactly what you want in a charter. Best charter I’ve ever been on, and everyone agreed…... we will definitely be back. If you’re “thinking” about doing this, on suggestion is to stop thinking and get booking!!

Thanks so much for a brilliant day out in the bay of islands! It was our kids first fishing trip and Ross was brilliant at helping them set up the rods and making sure they could catch a fish. Our boy George managed to catch a 5kg snapper! The crew was as excited as we were. Thank you so much. We’ll be back!

Thanks for taking the time to do a review. It was such a pleasure seeing the children have fun fishing and well done young George for his very impressive catch. Very happy to have you back any time

Fantastic morning and we were out on the snapper straight away. Capt Ross only likes small groups so we had space. Great morning fishing. Would def pick Target Charters again.
