ABOUT US
Operating out of Mana Marina, Go Fishing NZ aims to deliver a memorable experience out on the ocean. Whether you’re seeking the thrill of catching fish, having a relaxing day with family & friends, or even corporate team building, we can cater to suit your individual needs. For those coming from out of town, we have an Airbnb located in beautiful Titahi Bay which can also be booked. Don’t hesitate to get in touch so that we can arrange your perfect charter!
*Please note: In an effort to maintain the sustainability of our marine environment, we impose our own daily limits on species that we feel are under threat.
