MAYOR ISLAND FISHING

TWO DAY/NIGHT TRIP
$9000 (whole boat) | 6-8 guests

Embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure with Striker Sea Charters, departing from Tauranga marina at 6 PM and returning after 4 PM the following day. Your journey to Mayor Island promises thrilling experiences both night and day.

On the first night, engage in bait fishing and snapper/reef fishing. The next day, immerse yourself in deep-sea fishing for bluenose, hapuka bass, and gemfish. During the season, enjoy the added excitement of marlin and tuna trawling as you move between fishing spots.

Mayor Island offers diverse fishing opportunities on your second day. Choose between targeting kingfish, marlin/tuna trawling, or deep drops to suit your angling preferences.

Mayor Island, known locally as Tuhua, is not just another distant peak on the horizon. It boasts a rich history marked by volcanic activity, inter-tribal warfare, and renowned big game fishing. The waters around the island, partially designated as a marine reserve since 1993, have earned a global reputation for exceptional fishing.

"Fishing is very popular around Mayor Island, with oceanic fish such as marlin and tuna, along with snapper and kingfish in good numbers at the right time of year." - Department of Conservation
