Join us on an epic fishing adventure in the beautiful Bay of Islands! Enjoy cruising the beautiful Bay as our awesome skipper takes you to one of his favourite spots. We’ll catch some bait along the way and then it’s lines over and let the fun begin! At the end of the day, we’ll fillet and bag your fish ready to take home with you.
The May Marie is super stable, offering a smooth and comfortable ride with plenty of shade to protect from the sun and clean, flush bathroom facilities. There’s tea/coffee/water on board but feel free to bring snacks and other beverages.
Along the way, our crew will give you some insights into the kinds of fish here in the Bay and fishing sustainably. They also have some good fishing stories to tell!
Meet other fisho’s aboard a shared charter or charter the boat for a private hire. The May Marie is perfect for groups of up to 20. With private hires we can tailor your day to suit you.
A fun day out living your best life in the Bay!
