Cook Strait Fishing Charters - Seaview

We run a variety of fishing charters around the Wellington, Mana and Kapiti areas with our 50ft vessel ‘Seafarer II’.

We also run multi-day trips to the Marlborough Sounds and D’Urville Island.

For bookings – call Jonathan on 021 966 906 – or email [email protected] anytime.

We’re a fun and professional operation – hope to take you out fishing soon.

Out in the deep-water canyons targeting bass, blue nose and hapuka. The full-day trips are a great adventure. We also have time to target tarakihi, kingfish and blue cod on these trips.

Targeting inshore areas for tarakihi, blue cod, kingfish, snapper and other species. Fishing around Wellington’s south coast areas or the Mana coasts depending on best weather options.

Calm waters and fun fishing. Harbour trips are great for kids, families and groups. Relaxed and comfortable, fishing for gurnard, kahawai, elephant fish, trevally and other species.

For an amazing fishing adventure that’s close to home, a multi-day trip across the strait to D’Urville Island or the Marlborough Sounds is hard to beat. 

Giant blue cod, tarakihi, groper, snapper, kingfish – D’Urville and the Sounds has something for everyone’s fishing tastes. We usually do 3-4 day trips to D’Urville staying at the D’Urville Wilderness Resort, and 2 day trips to the Marlborough Sounds staying at Furneaux Lodge – but we can structure a trip to suit your groups preferences. The hunting and diving are great over there as well. 

Did we mention the diving around the Marlborough Sounds … ?
