May Marie Charters, Bay of Islands, NZ A professional Fishing Charter company, we offer half and full day, shared or private charters with a
(1)

Our 44ft boat is super stable, offering guests a comfortable ride and plenty of space to fish. There is a covered area out the back providing shade from sun or shelter from rain and a cabin area where you can sit and enjoy a cuppa. Our crew are highly qualified and have been fishing all their lives! Even on their days off, you'll often find them out fishing in the bay! The crew will bait hooks, re

move fish and at the end of the day, they'll fillet and bag your fish ready to take home with you. Jump on one of our shared trips with other keen fisho's or you can hire the entire boat for a private charter that we can tailor to suit your group. We are perfect for:
* Families - Our child policy is one child 4-11 years goes free when fishing together with an adult (one child per adult).
* Groups - Christmas parties, stag do's, friends and family groups ...you name it.
* Those with limited mobility - we have wheelchair access onto the boat so whether you're in a wheelchair, on crutches or just a little unsteady on your feet, we can still get you out for a fantastic day. Talk to us about how we can make it work for you.
* Solos - If you're by yourself, not a problem! Hop on one of our shared trips and join others for a fun day out.
* Fishing Clubs - We take a lot of fishing clubs out for the day as we can take up to 12 fishing at once. We're a friendly team who love getting visitors and locals alike out into our beautiful backyard for an epic day out catching snapper, kingfish, kahawai, John Dory and more.

Today was more about showcasing the beautiful Bay of Islands to overseas visitors than fishing (although we did still catch a couple of nice snaps coz it'd be rude not to). What a spectacular day in the winterless north!

Always love receiving these reviews:
"Even though fishing in winter promised to be more challenging than in summer, we were not disappointed with this trip. Captain Trent knew exactly where to find the fish and, despite being a crew member down, gave everyone on board his full attention. Very knowledgeable, personable and great with both kids and adults alike. We caught over 9 different varieties of fish, some of which I’d never seen before, including decent kingfish and snapper. My kids and I loved this experience and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough." Thanks very much Doug - we look forward to seeing you next time!😊

We've been a bit quiet on FB lately. That's because we've had the boat out of the water for the last 3 weeks doing annual maintenance - engine checks and tweaks, belt replacements, painting (although the weather didn't let us quite finish that so still more to go), new anchor winch, new life jackets, anti foul, new hydraulic wiring and a revamped chiller because our guys are super particular about making sure your fish stays in premium condition (no chilly bins or block ice for us! 😁) But we're back on the water and thank god for that - our boys were going a bit stir crazy being on dry land for too long! Hit us up if you're keen to get out - have a few spaces available over the weekend. These pics are from last couple of days. T: 0274 415 895
