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.

Half Day Trip (PM) - Snapper

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
