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...

The captain and his mate really worked hard to find the fish. The boat needs a bit of a clean up and refurbishment. Fishing gear was top notch.

Thanks Carlton. A pleasure to take you fishing. Yes the boat is over 30 years old now. Hopefully a week of maintenance which starts tomorrow will give things a dolly up, but we’ll still be a 30 year old boat that gets some hard use. I trust the rest of your holiday goes well.

Major Tom and crewman, Paul, were so obliging and kind, providing us with a day of touring the beautiful Bay of Islands combined with fun fishing action. We will definitely return for another day.
