Member since December 2014 Paihia, New Zealand

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 14 years ago and continue to operate in the Bay.

Had an awesome morning out with this charter, we caught some good size snapper and kawai, boat has plenty of deck space for 5 big guys and Skipper Ross & Rick provide such a great experience and knowledge of fishing , 4 hours on the water was worth it! I will definitely be back with the crew in future and highly recommend this charter Thanks Ross & Rick for your hospitality and service
