Your Charter

Skipper Derek runs private and small-group charters aboard a purpose-built Surtees 650 Gamefisher, taking a maximum of four people so everyone gets real time with a line in the water. Trips depart daily from Paihia, Russell or Waitangi, live baiting, jigging or trolling for kingfish and snapper through the Bay's channels and reefs.

Beyond the standard Kingfish & Snapper Charter, full-day custom charters, VIP one-on-one trips and family-friendly outings are all available -- the boat and itinerary can be built around what you want to target.
