Boat Charter Details

50ft ELUSIVE

We offer full service and fishing expertise to make your trip as easy as possible.

• We rig up fishing lines
• help baitup
• untangle lines
• Take fish off hooks
• fillet the catch and bag it up
• look after you from start to finish and take you to the best fishing spots for the prevailing weather. 

8HR TRIPS - Most of our day trips travel out wide to target hapuku (groper) on the turn of tide as well as inshore fishing for snapper, kingfish, trevallly, gurnard, bluecod, tarakihi and various other species. I am happy to tailor a plan to suit your requirements which could include albatross and dolphin watching, cooked lunch or breakfast (group bookings only), a swim or dive, or just full on fishing.  

During the summer months there is a good chance of picking up albacore tuna.

Day trips normally start at 8am and are back in around 4pm

Where we fish depends on the weather conditions on the day. We try our best to keep everyone comfortable and are happy to fish sheltered water if anyone is suffering from sea sickness. I will let you know the day before and on the day what the weather conditions are likely to be.   

Prices

 $2400 plus $50pp for tackle hire (up to 12)

$2600 plus $50pp tackle (up to 18 people)

share cost trips $250pp plus tackle hire

6HR TRIPS - On these trips we normally fish the inshore coastal area or the 60 - 100 mtr mark through th turn of the tide (if its not too windy or swelly). Trips normally start at 8am or 12pm but this can change with tide tide and peoples preferences. Hunters bank and Boom rock are our favourite spots on this trip if the weather and tide are good. We have time to get to better spots than the 4hr trip so there is more chance getting better fishing on these trips. 

Snapper and kingfish are prime targets on this trip but can we also catch bluecod, tarakihi, warehou, trevally, gurnard, trumpeter, john dory and other species.

We can go deepwater fishing on a 6hr trip but we recommend the 8hr option for that kind of fishing.

Prices

$1900 plus $40pp tackle hire - up to 12 people

$2100 plus $40pp tackle hire - up to 22 people

Share cost trip - $200pp on a share cost plus tackle hire

4HR SHELTERED WATER TRIPS - These trips have become really popular over the last few years. One reason is that we hardly ever have to cancel them, usually we catch plenty of fish and there is always a calm spot to fish inside Mana Island and then everyones happy if its a 'bit lumpy' out wide. We often fish Pukerua bay in the north or the south of Mana down towards Boom rock.

These are the common fish we catch - snapper, tarakihi, bluecod, trevally, gurnard and kahawai with kingfish, warehou & blue mackerel and other species turning up from time to time to keep things interesting.

These trips are prefect for christmas parties, stag or hens parties, birthdays, client entertainment, social clubs and kids trips.
