Wellington is one of New Zealand’s best kept fishing secrets. Within an hour from the city you can be out catching BIG fish and plenty of them. The main species targeted on there charters is Puka (groper up to 200kg) fishing in the deep and Tarakihi and bluecod fishing inshore. We also regularly catch snapper, kingfish and tuna in the summer months with bass and bluenose in the deepwater.

Pete and John will look after you from start to finish offering the best possible service and fishing to make your day or trip a memorable one. There boats are sturdy ex Australian commercial boats (52 and 62ft) which are ideally suited to the Cook Strait where they fish 3 - 5 day trips to the Marlborough Sounds.

The Marlborough Sounds is ideally located close to Wellington and is normally calm. The waters are rich with scallops and crayfish which we can dredge, pot or dive for and the fishing is superb for snapper, kingfish, hapuku, bluecod and tarakihi.

Our 62ft vessel Daniel is fitted out with 7 bunks, full galley facilities, large fish hold, fridge, freezer, dvd and stereo. 52ft Melicent is a day boat only but comfortable fishes up to 12 people We are surveyed for 18 people plus crew across the strait and 25 once over the other side.
