Making the Most of Your Morning Charter
Fishing with just 3 to 6 people ensures the trip feels personal and unhurried. You’ll receive plenty of one-on-one tips from the skipper, making it easy to refine your technique as the conditions shift. Whether using soft baits, strayline rigs or more traditional setups, every angler gets a chance to fish their way.
This 4–5 hour charter is ideal for early risers who want action on the water while still having the rest of the day free. Once the fish are landed, they’ll be filleted onboard so you can head home ready for a fresh meal. Between the breathtaking scenery and the thrill of hooking into snapper, it’s an experience that captures the very essence of the Bay of Islands.
