Days Out Fishing Charters

Days Out Fishing Charters is a top pick for fishing trips in Paihia, right in the heart of the Bay of Islands. Pete, the organiser, has set up an operation that offers some great experiences for anglers of all levels.

Pete's main gig is snapper fishing with a 5-hour trip that lets you chase these beauties using either bait or soft plastics. You'll get the chance to hook some big snapper, whether you're out on a private trip or sharing the boat with others.

If you're after a bit more of a challenge, Pete also runs a 7-hour trip targeting yellowtail kingfish. These fish put up a real fight, making for a thrilling day on the water. Again, you can go solo or share the ride.

For something a bit more tailored, Pete offers personalised sole charter trips. These trips let you target different fish species with various fishing methods, giving you a unique and custom experience.

But it’s not all about fishing. Pete's team also offers an Island Cruise around the Bay of Islands. You can book the boat for your family or mates and design your own adventure. Start with some fishing in the morning, then head to explore the inner islands. There’s a spot to stop at Urapukapuka Island for a bit of walking, swimming, or snorkelling. With a max of 6 people, it's a nice and personal way to enjoy the bay.

Pete and his crew are all about keeping things sustainable, making sure they're doing their bit for marine life. They focus on sustainable fishing practices and like to educate their guests about it too.
