Discover the Prized Fish of the Hauraki Gulf


The waters of the Hauraki Gulf teem with a variety of fish species, each offering its own challenge and reward. With Nirvana Charters, your fishing adventure goes beyond simply casting a line—it’s about mastering the craft of bait selection and experiencing the thrill of the catch in an exclusive environment.


Snapper

Revered as the jewel of the Gulf, snapper are known for their preference for oily, fresh baits such as pilchards and squid. These prized fish promise not only a delicious meal but an exciting catch for those seeking to indulge in a world-class fishing experience.


Kingfish

For the ultimate adrenaline rush, try your hand at catching the powerful kingfish. These majestic predators respond best to live baits such as kahawai or squid, offering an invigorating challenge for even the most seasoned anglers.


Kahawai

Known for their high-energy strikes and acrobatic leaps, kahawai are a favourite among those seeking action-packed fishing. Offering a lively chase, these fish are enticed by berley and small baitfish like pilchards.


Trevally

Trevally, often seen in shimmering schools, are particularly attracted to cut baits like pilchards and shellfish. A successful catch requires patience and precision, two qualities that Nirvana Charters excels in nurturing for its guests.
