Waiheke Ocean Adventures Fishing Charters, based on Waiheke Island in New Zealand, is a family-run business that offers private fishing and scenic charters. Formerly known as Adventure Fishing Charters, the company was taken over by Pounamu and Remy Sandoy in 2019. With a passion for the ocean and all things related to it, including fishing, surfing, and diving, Waiheke Ocean Adventures aims to provide unforgettable experiences on the water.
The charter options provided by Waiheke Ocean Adventures are diverse and cater to different preferences and needs. They offer both half-day and full-day fishing charters, where guests can catch various kinds of fish such as snapper and Kingfish. The half-day fishing charter is perfect for those who want to spend a morning or afternoon on the water, and guests can choose between using bait, lures, or softbait (recommended for experienced anglers). The starting price for this charter is $900 for four hours, accommodating up to four people, with an option to add a fifth person upon request.
On the other hand, the full-day fishing charter is designed for those who want to spend more time on the water and have an adventure. A wide range of fishing methods can be experienced, including bait, lures, soft baits, topwater, jigging, and live baits. The starting price for the full-day charter is $1400 for eight hours, accommodating up to four people.
In addition to fishing charters, Waiheke Ocean Adventures also offers scenic tours for those who want to explore Waiheke Island from a different perspective. Guests can discover pristine secluded bays that are only accessible by boat and can indulge in activities such as snorkelling and picnicking in private bays. The availability of snorkelling gear and the option to arrange lunch and refreshments make the scenic tours all the more convenient and enjoyable. Prices are available upon request for up to five people.
Waiheke Ocean Adventures operates their charters on their custom-built Fyran 595 vessel, named Moki VI. Powered by a 150hp Yamaha outboard engine, Moki VI ensures a comfortable and stable fishing platform for guests. The boat is spacious and provides ample room for guests to relax and enjoy their fishing or scenic experience.
Sustainability is a key focus for Waiheke Ocean Adventures, and they are committed to promoting sustainable fishing practises. The skipper, Remy Sandoy, prioritises educating guests on the importance of preserving the health of the ocean for future generations.
