Charter Your Own South Pacific Fishing Adventure

Set sail with friends on a private offshore fishing charter through Auckland’s stunning Hauraki Gulf aboard a fast, purpose-built vessel. Journey from the iconic Great Barrier to the scenic Coromandel Peninsula in search of thrilling work-up fishing for snapper and kingfish, guided by experienced skippers committed to long, flexible trips tailored just for your group. Along the way, keep an eye out for playful dolphins and breaching whalesβ€”beautiful wildlife encounters that happen on their own terms.

This 8- or 10-hour charter offers full flexibility on timing and targeting, complete with all fishing gear provided and a crew that goes as far and as long as needed to deliver an exceptional experience. Ideal for friends, families, or corporate outings, the private setup ensures you enjoy both the thrills of fishing and the drama of New Zealand’s coastal scenery with space to relax, chat, and make memories together.
