FAq's

It doesn't matter what you're wearing, but with fish scales flying around, we would recommend wearing something you don’t mind getting down and dirty in. We recommend long sleeves and long pants along with plenty of sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Bring a hat, sunglasses, a warm and/or a windproof jacket. Regular street shoes or sneakers will be fine to wear on the boat.

When you charter the boat, we can accommodate max 18 people comfortably. We do small, personalised groups of 13 - 18 anglers.

No. BYO food & refreshments.

Yes.

Sorry we can't return to port to drop off one person. We fish outside of the harbour and could be an hour off shore. Please take your own sea sick remedies.

At least 15 mins before your expected departure time.

Through the years, we have guided everyone from movie stars to famous anglers. Regardless of your experience level, we want you to have a good time. We can help you! We’re happy to rig your lines, bait your hooks, take fish off your line and even help you clean your catch.

Your catch is entirely dependent on conditions. Here are a few fish you can expect in the fishing grounds: Snapper, Gurnard, Kahawai, Trevally, Tarakihi, Kingfish.

There is never any guarantee as to how many fish you will catch. Some trips will always be more successful than others. Shorter fishing trips give you less time to fish, and the results can be more variable. Longer full day trips take you to more remote waters with a greater variety of fish. However, we generally have successful trips.

A refund is payable if a cancellation is received with adequate time to rebook the spot or charter. Any deposit paid will not be refunded if the person/s cancel late without enough time to rebook the spot or charter or the person/s are a no show on the day. If the charter is cancelled by us for reasons of bad weather or conditions, a mutually suitable reschedule date is attempted or failing that a full refund is given.

testimonials

Would put 10 stars if I could. Darron and the team are outstanding. Full communication from the point of first contact right up until heading home. Very much well worth the money, Darron put us right on top of the fish and provided a flawless day of great fishing. Will be back again and again. Cheers team.
