What we offer
Our reviews
I can not speak more highly of Simon and his charter operation, i took the boat for the morning it was quite still but very cool. it had rained overnight. Simon advised we may not catch anything, but the two of us on board landed 3 good sized trout and lost another 4. It was a fantastic morning and one go the highlights of my time in Queenstown, Thanks Simon for such a great experience I'm coming back again for sure. one of the best fishing charters I've done world wide, great work Simon.

Highly recommended for a nice relaxing trip to really take in the beauty surrounding the lake while casting out and spending time with friends.
