This tour is not just
about fishing, it’s a whole boating and wildlife experience, enjoying
what the Karitane area has to offer.
Our inshore bottom fishing charter will enable you to fish along the
Northern coast from Karitane to Shag Point, where the main catch is
blue cod, trumpeter & perch, along with some surprise catches. Most
of the catch is for the table, but often game fish can be encountered
inshore over the summer months.
Sea birds are our constant companions and are always looking for a free
meal during fishing trips. Their presence offers great photo opportunities
along with dolphins, seals, penguins and other sea life that can also
be seen inshore when conditions suit.
Max 6 persons

If you are in to fishing
and getting offshore this is for you!
We fish the outside off Shag Point for cod, trumpeter, groper and shark,
along with a whole bunch of reef fish. We also fish the edge of the
continental shelf from Karitane, where the depth of water is around
160 to 300 meters, so this is a place were you just don’t know
what you may catch. Cod, perch, groper and large deep water trumpeter
are just some of the fish that live in these canyons along with some
very large sharks! (Sharks taken from this place have set world records
which are still current today.)
We also base our boat a week at a time at Taieri Mouth (when the Otago
weather is settled) where we fish groper, cod & trumpeter. PLEASE
NOTE: These tours need to be pre-booked and are a bit more weather
dependant.
Offshore is not only a good place to fish but it's the home of the Albatross
and so many different birds and marine life, making going offshore more
than just a fishing adventure.

The waters around Karitane
are rich in seabird life, this is a great way to see these birds up
close and in there own environment. With an estuary full of all types
of birds, the waters offshore are rich with Albatross and Mollymawks
flying high on the sea breezes, along with many other species.
Other marine animals are spotted on this tour as well, which makes this
trip an unbelievable photo opportunity. The best time to see the birds
is when it is windy, as they look their best flying high and fast on
the winds.
The tour is around 2 hours long and there is an opportunity to swim
with dolphins if you arrange with us prior at no extra cost.

Swim with

Dolphins are often encountered
on most of our tours so the opportunity is there for you to swim and
see these wonderful mammals up close and in their own environment.
We then head up the coast from Karitane, undertaking a full eco-tour
and looking at all wildlife the area has to offer. On occasion we might
fish a little. When we find a pod of dolphins, we put out a sea biscuit
that you can swim from (it's like a big truck tube with handles around
it and a rope to the boat, this is also a lot of fun behind the boat
at speed).
Our vessel is a jet boat which has no propellers or rudders (or anything
under water) to harm you, making this swim very safe.
It pays to ring first and ask about the numbers of pods which would
be available at the time of your intended booking.
Max 6 persons, Minimum of 3 persons
WHAT TO BRING:
If needed, we can gear you with wetsuits, goggles, snorkel fins and
life jackets prior to heading out to sea. (If you have your own snorkeling
gear, it is best to bring it along for better fitting). Please bring
togs, 2 towels and some warm gear.
