Separating the Hauraki Gulf from the Bay of Plenty, the Coromandel Peninsula is a hub for tourists from all over the world. Although it's just a stone's throw from the bustling centres of Auckland and Tauranga, its luscious mountains, rainforests, and crystal clear waters will make you feel like you're in another world. Make the most of it and hop aboard one of the many Coromandel fishing charters, which will take you to the bays, islands, and deep waters offshore.
When it comes to fishing here, you’re in for a treat. From the shallow inshore waters, to the islands, and further offshore, there’s something for you. Test your bottom fishing skills to fill the boat with delicious Snappers, John Dory, Kingfish, and Trevally, or get ready for a big game fishing adventure in the deep. With Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin rubbing shoulders with Sailfish, Bluenoses, Hapuka, Tuna, and many more, there’s always something biting.
The incredible fishing action starts a mere 10 minutes from shore, so hop aboard a nearshore Coromandel fishing charter for anywhere from four hours to a full day. If you want to get to the deep, then you’ll need at least seven hours of fishing. Fortunately, there are plenty of options, including shared and private charters, depending on your budget. Choose from a species-specific trip, or go after them all on a “combo” adventure to fill the boat.
Most Coromandel fishing charters operate out of the eastern coast of the peninsula, with Tairua and Whitianga being particularly strong hotspots to get you to the islands and beyond. These locations boast the shortest runs to some of the best fishing grounds in the country, so come aboard and get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime!
