Mike Foster-atkins5.0VerifiedAfternoon trip with Major Tom
Poludnevni Izlet (PM) • 2 adultsWe had a really good afternoon out on the water with Hamish the skipper on Major Tom. Even though the boat was not fully booked out he still sailed - so we had a personal experience that other boats may not have run. Hamish was really helpful with the fishing tackle, baiting up and then cleaning and filleting our catch for taking home. Major Tom is nice boat with plenty of space to fish from and spread out on the trip out to the fishing grounds. Will certainly be heading back for a trip, thank you,
Debbie Woodhall5.0VerifiedHalf a day fishing with Hamish
Poludnevni Izlet (Prepodne) • 10 adultsI only booked the trip but the 7 people who went on this fishing trip absolutely raved about the experience. They told me that Hamish was an exceptional host and is a very friendly guy. They caught loads of fish too which was an added bonus. All enjoyed this very much! Thanks Hamish!
Lexi Harcourt5.0VerifiedHalf day trip
Poludnevni Izlet (Prepodne) • 2 adultsAbsolutely recommend taking a trip with Hamish on his boat. We had a great time! Hamish was very knowledgeable about fishing and the local area and was happy to share with us. Will def go back out with Hamish on Major Tom when we are back in the area. Have enjoyed having fresh fish for dinner.
Response from CaptainMy pleasure it was a fun trip. Thanks for coming out.
Richard MearesRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThe Perfect Morning with Captain Geoff and Paul
5 hour snapper/kingfish • 2 adultsWithout 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 knowledge and great people to spend the day with. I will DEFINITELY book their services again next time I’m in the Bay of Islands. I could not recommend more highly.
Reported catch:
Response from CaptainThanks Richard. A most enjoyable morning for us also.
Angela Robinson5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!
Poludnevni Izlet (PM) • 3 adultsWe thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon fishing. Hamish and his brother, James who was helping out that day, could not have made the experience any better. Great help with our daughter, full of energy and keen to get a good catch. I highly recommend it!
