Without question, the best fishing charter I’ve ever been on! I’ve been fishing for 40 years, but chose to leave my own boat today and take a charter with ones of NZs most respected and well-known skippers, for a chance to learn and see how the pro’s do it. Well, WOW! Apart from Kingfish thick and fast from the first drop, the boat was spacious and comfortable, the gear was more than adequate, and the skipper Geoff and first mate, Paul were hospitable, generous with their phenomenal...

Captain Hamish was awesome. Picked us up from the Copthorne Resort and Hotel which was very convenient. Great morning fishing trip. Even though we didn’t catch a fish to keep. The experience was epic. Bonus I didn’t get sea sick even though it was a lil rough. Our lines were baited when needed. We look forward to returning to Paihia soon.

Fantastic morning with Captain Hamish. We caught so many fish - more than we could eat and the lines kept biting keeping the kids engaged. Would recommend to anyone.
