ABOUT US
Operating out of Mana Marina, Go Fishing NZ aims to deliver a memorable experience out on the water. Whether you’re seeking the thrill of catching fish and/or diving, to simply have a relaxing day out on the ocean bonding with friends & family, or even corporate team building, we can cater to suit your individual needs. Subject to interest, Elusive may relocate to Wellington harbour where we would offer harbour cruises as well. For those coming from out-of-town, we have an Airbnb located in beautiful Titahi Bay which can be booked along with your charter. Don’t hesitate to get in touch so that we can arrange your ideal charter and get you out on the sea!
*Please note: We impose our own daily limits on species that we feel are under threat. This is our way of contributing to the sustainability of our marine environment so that we, and future generations, can continue to create memorable fishing experiences.
