THE FISHING
Our main target species are Snapper and Kingfish but we are also able to catch Kahawai, John Dory, Trevally and Gunard.
If you have never caught one of the species, our team will talk you through the techniques to give you the best chance on the day.
We're one of the few boats that really focusses on kingfish and we love it! You can't beat that photo holding a Kingi.
We use top quality Okuma gear on your journey - because fishing is fun, but catching is better.

We do need a minimum 6 booked on a shared charter (5 for Kingfish) to go out.

WHAT FISH DO YOU TARGET?
We offer a standard charter that targets Snapper, however you can catch other fish such as, Kingfish, John Dory, Gurnard, Kahawai and Trevally. We’ve even caught a shark!
CAN I TAKE MY OWN RODS?
We prefer you not too as the rods you have may not be suitable for our type of fishing.
However, contact us and we can discuss the options if you would like too.
DO YOU USE BAIT?
No. You leave clean and get back clean!
We use soft bait and lures for most of our fishing.
We use live bait for Kingfish and have a live bait tank onboard for this.
WHAT’S THE BEST TIME FOR KINGFISH?
Kingfish are out there all year round, however the time you fish does make a difference.
November to April: there are more Kingfish out there, so easier to catch
May – October: while there are less Kingfish around, they tend to be a lot bigger. As such we only offer Private groups over this time as we may only get the change to land 1-2 of them.
Please note: We limit our quota to 1 Kingfish take home per person to not reap them from the waters.
What about filleting the fish?
We don’t fillet the fish, and this cannot be done while on the water by yourselves.
Once back at Westhaven, there is a company that can fillet your fish for you for a small charge.
All unwanted fish and fish parts are shared to the community.
They only operate a few days a week depending on the season, so check their website for details. https://kaiika.co.nz/services/
DO YOU HAVE A BBQ ON BOARD OR OFFER CATERING?
No, we don’t. We find most people arrange sandwiches and other homemade lunches.
Can I bring my Chilly Bin onboard?
We ask you leave this in the car. We have a large chilly bin onboard with plenty of Salt Ice.
You can store food in here to keep it chilled until you start catching those fish!
Once back at the wharf, the skipper will get you to go collect your bin from your car to put your fish in and you can take some of our ice.
There is storage under the seats for personal items.
