Reel Passion's Charter Information

Owner operator and Captain Mark Hoare: Mark comes with many years in the charter and fishing industries. Respected by all as a quiet achiever with the ability to put client satisfaction and safety first along with an energetic and understanding personality which complements Mark's exceptional seamanship skills local knowledge and instinct. A mechanic by trade with army training and exceptional cooking skills all combine to complement our philosophy for providing a professional, friendly, no stress environment.

The Season:
The game fishing season runs from January through to late May - June: we can pick up customers from anywhere along the Northland coast. Anglers generally wish to travel to where the fish are, thus saving valuable fishing time cruising to the best spots.
During the off season guests have the choice of dive and bottom fishing trips or just sight seeing anywhere along the east coast, targeting tuna, kingfish, hapuku, and snapper. With the compressor on board we can offer specialist dive trips to the many sunken wrecks and nature reserves along the East Coast.

We are surveyed for up to 30 guests inshore for corporate and group charters. 20 to Great Barrier Island and outer gulf.  8 guests to the Three Kings Islands.

We are also available for corporate charter work from the Auckland area.

Some advantages we offer include:

  1. 1. Luxury accommodation for up to 10 anglers including two double beds.
    2.  The stability, speed, space and comfort of a modern catamaran.
    3.  The very best in electronics to track favourable currents and fish.
    4.  The very best in safety Equipment.
    5.  Satellite telephone and fax's (weather and currents).
    6.  Television, dual video recorders and sound system.
    7.  Thirty five mile radar and under water sonar which picks up anything within a 1200 metre circumference around the vessel, (Some are now complaining that we have an unfair advantage because of this).
    8. Most importantly we have 'two' customised game chairs, and because of our width are able to run more rods than most conventional craft, giving anglers more time in each chair per day, thus giving each angler 'better odds' per day of catching that elusive fish. Also because of our speed and stability we are able to fish in tougher conditions in relative comfort than most.
    9.  Dive Compressor. Let us also take care of your Diving trip throughout the year. Having participated in the successful 'Niagara 99'/2002 Extreme Dives The Force Documentary, we look forward to offering special Dive and Dive / fishing packages throughout the Year; from any port along the East coast.
    11. Special packages to Great Barrier Island, Stay ashore accommodation available for landbased fisherman, school groups, tramping clubs and all keen fishos.

During July to September we are now doing charters fishing for the giant blue fin tuna out of Greymouth.
