Our six-hour shared charter gives you the time to experience more of Lake Wakatipu, not simply spend longer fishing. With a maximum of six guests, we can explore different areas, adapt as conditions change and, where suitable, try a wider range of fishing techniques.
First-time anglers have plenty of time to learn and gain confidence, while experienced anglers can get more involved with techniques, gear and the local fishery. Your skipper is there throughout to provide hands-on guidance and share his knowledge of the lake and surrounding area.
Once fishing, our fully electric trolling motor means no engine noise. Its GPS route-following system can guide the boat along our fishing route, leaving your skipper free to spend more time helping guests, talking fishing and sharing local knowledge.
Quality fishing gear, a comfortable purpose-built boat, locally sourced treats and cold drinks make this a relaxed and immersive way to experience Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown from the water.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
3 Sugar Lane, Frankton, Queenstown 9300 (45°01'08.3"S 168°42'57.6"E) The boat will be ready at the jetty next to the boat ramp (between the Boatshed café and the Boatshed Bakery). Just look out for our blue Catch a Fish boat.
What to expect
The longer trip gives us time to explore more of the lake, spend longer in productive fishing areas and vary our approach as conditions change. Target rainbow trout, brown trout and salmon using techniques such as trolling and downrigging, with opportunities to try other methods where suitable. Our fully electric trolling motor means no engine noise while fishing for a quieter, more peaceful experience.
No previous fishing experience is needed. Beginners will be guided through everything, while experienced anglers can get more involved with the fishing and techniques.
Between bites, take in Lake Wakatipu’s spectacular mountain scenery while enjoying locally sourced treats and cold drinks. You’re welcome to bring lunch or pre-order a locally prepared lunch for the day.
If you catch a legal fish you’d like to keep, we can clean and vacuum-pack it for you to take away. Catch-and-release is equally welcome. After six hours, we’ll return to Frankton Marina.
