Nikita
Nikita – Your Premium Fishing Charter on Lake Wakatipu
Nikita is our flagship vessel, a custom 7.8m (26ft) Sea Ranger hard-top alloy boat designed to deliver an exceptional experience on the water. Surveyed for up to 12 passengers (plus crew) but ideal for groups of 1–8, Nikita offers space, comfort, and performance whether you’re casting lines with mates or enjoying a private family adventure.
Purpose-built to handle the conditions on Lake Wakatipu and beyond, this rig features a fully enclosed cabin, onboard toilet, diesel heater, and high gunnels for a safe and stable ride. Whether you’re chasing trout, salmon, or just cruising to some of the lake’s most scenic hidden spots, Nikita is up for the task.
With a wide beam and smart layout, there’s plenty of fishing room onboard, plus all the tech and tackle you’d expect from a serious charter boat. From the moment you step aboard, Nikita sets the tone for a premium day out on the water.
