An awesome experience! The crew were incredibly helpful, taking us out on the boat to the best spots to find fish, baiting our hooks, and teaching us how to fish. Even if you’re a beginner, you’re guaranteed a great fishing experience. Each of us caught several fish, and the crew also advised on the tastiest parts and the best ways to cook them. Despite the cold weather on the way back, they diligently prepared and filleted the fish onboard, ensuring everyone left with their share of the catch. It was perfect. My friends and I had a fantastic time, and we’re hoping to come back with more mates next time.

Hi Owen Thanks for your comments in your review. We are pleased that you had a great time and we were able to give a taste of fish and seeing the Bay of Islands. We look forward to seeing you again. Robin
We had a fantastic day on the May Marie, mostly due to our skippers. Kerry and Trent are incredibly experienced and taught us heaps as well as running around after the five of us, baiting hooks, taking fish off and then expertly filleting them for us at the end of the day. Apart from brilliant skippers, the boat was well set up, they had all the best fishing gear and we felt we had a really authentic kiwi fishing experience. We’re NZers from the South Island and we fish a lot and we would’ve been disappointed if we’d had a glossy, polished ‘tour’ aimed at international tourists…we thought our day on the May Marie with our fantastic skippers was the real deal.

Absolutely appreciate both Jas and Trent working so hard on our charter to try to make our experience the best. Unfortunately the fishing gods weren’t shining on us. This is despite Jas doing everything in his vast experience to catch fish. Jas and Trent were knowledgeable, welcoming, super efficient and a bloody good laugh. On behalf of the 12 people from our group we would like to say thank you very much and will not hesitate to both return and also recommend. Regards Sal.

Absolutely legendary and amazing crew Trent and Jeff. Myself and my 9 year old son had an absolute blast on board the May Marie. The crew was patient with my son and really helpful with showing us techniques etc. We caught many different species of fishes. They were very knowledgeable with fishing location and bait to use and extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended and we will definitely be jumping on the May Marie charter again.
Thanks so much for the great review. Trent and Jeff had an awesome day out with you both today. Bet the young fella will sleep well tonight! Thanks again and look forward to the next one!
Fantastic fishing trip! Super knowledgeable crew, friendly and experienced. Our 5 hour afternoon excursion turned into six at no extra cost, simply down to the skippers passion and wanting us to get the most out of our experience. We fished for live bait then stopped at three different spots for the big fish. The team couldn’t have been more helpful, baiting up, helping with lines, reeling up the ones we couldn’t manage… we caught pink mau mau, snapper among others. All the filleting was done on the way in and lots of fish to take home. Couldn’t rate skipper and crew more highly. Thanks for a brilliant day guys!
