Snapper

New Zealand’s most popular fish for the table and a great species to target for both experienced anglers, beginners and children alike.

Ledger and strayline rigs are predominantly used for this species but jigs and soft baits can also be effective by keen experienced anglers

Sole charters allow you to have the boat and all the skippers attention to yourselves, whether an individual or couple wanting a quality experience to themselves, a family or a small group of friends you have put together yourselves

Shared charters are a budget conscious option for individuals, couples or very small groups who are happy to share the boat with others

Group charters can be organised when we have more people than can be carried aboard a single boat. Groups of boats can be arranged with anglers divided among them, thus ensuring a great fishing experience for each individual.

  • Get the boat and all the skipper’s attention to yourself

    Prices ranging from $850 - $1500

  • Share the boat with others, usually groups of around 6 to 15 people

    Prices ranging from $150 - $185 per person

  • We can cater for almost any size group, using multiple boats if necessary.
