Top Shelf Charters Ltd

Come Fishing with us in the Beautiful Firth of Thames
Top Shelf Fishing Charters provide an excellent day out fishing which is a lot of fun for families and anglers alike.

We are based in the North Island of New Zealand on the Thames side of the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula (approx.) one to one and a half hours drive from Auckland and Hamilton.

Rods, Bait, tackle and light refreshments supplied.

As we cater for smaller groups, one on one tuition can be provided.

We welcome children - there is nothing better than watching little ones catch a fish for the first time!
Our boat is a 7.8 metre Kiwi Kraft, a Pontoon boat which provides very stable and safe fishing. Spacious deck, lock up cabin and private cubicle flush toilet will add comfort to your trip.

Skipper Paul has had years of experience fishing, is also a qualified Coast Guard skipper - your safety is paramount.

Each trip is approximately 5 hours (unless you get your limit earlier)- During this time, Paul will take you to all of the best spots to help make your fishing experience one to remember.

There are lots of different species and it is hard to say exactly what you may catch, however Snapper, Trevally, Kingfish, Kahawai, Gurnard and sometimes even Blue cod are predominately around.

Scallops, rock oysters and mussels are also available in season.
