Middle of winter afternoon fishing trip, with 3 teenagers. Captain Rick was an awesome host and was great with the kids. Non stop action all afternoon and we came back with more than enough to feed 7 for dinner. A great afternoon, thoroughly recommend it.

If you’re looking for a fun fishing charter that’s affordable, check these guys out.
There were 10 of us on board, and we all caught our fair share of fish, including Schnapper, Terikihi and Kingfish.
What’s more is we all went home with more than enough to feed our families. It was social and we all had a good laugh.
These guys are also part of a network that believes in sustainable fishing, by releasing any fish caught under 32cms when the legal size is 30cms.
Thanks for a brilliant day out.

Thanks for the review Tim. Yes we are big believers in sustainability for future fishing. We are glad that your team enjoyed the day.
Awesome morning with just the 3 of us and Shane on the boat. Shane got us right on the snapper then even filleted them for us. The views and scenery on the way out alone was enough to want to go again
Hello Jason. Thank you for your review on Splash with Captain Shane. We are pleased to hear that you all had a great time as well as being able to enjoy fishing with site seeing being a bonus on board with us. Its great to receive reviews, both good and bad which allows us to monitor how we are doing. We hope that at some stage you are able to get back here. Regards Blue Sea Chaters
It was a spectacular day, sea like a pond and big blue sky. And we caught fish! Not trophy fish, but enough of them (terakhi and snapper) to make the trip memorable. The boat is a bit small for ten people, but it’s OK. Bait was cut and hooks baited for us, which was good. We tried one spot first and then, after about half an hour of not much luck, moved on to another happier hunting ground where we stayed for the rest of the trip. The four hour trip includes the time it took to motor out to our spot (and back again) and to fillet the fish back at the jetty. In other words, we didn’t get four hours of fishing - more like two and a half hours. For the record, a second trip we did on the same boat finished at 12pm on the water - so we got more fishing time). Still, it was handy to have the fish filleted for us, ready to cook. The total catch was shared among the ten people on board, which I thought was fair (one person didn’t catch anything). I assume that if you caught a trophy fish, you would have the option of keeping that for yourself. Overall, a pretty good morning out - and beats working any day!
