FISHING, SAILING & SEA ADVENTURES

Wherever you go in New Zealand you are close to the sea. It is unsurprizing that we take to the water - fishing, sailing, cruising, exploring the coastline and enjoying the miriade of fasinating secluded islands.

New Zealand sailors are known the world over.  Ocean racing like the round the world epics or rowing the Atlantic.

Offshore, like the world yacht match racing circuit or the Americas Cup, Kiwi sailors excel.

Names like Russell Coutts, Brad Butterworth, Grant Dalton and Sir Peter Blake are synonymous with the sea.

The fisheries around the coast are plentiful, with an efficient fisheries management system controlling the commercial catch.

The variety of fishlife is wide enabling recreational activities to be enjoyed by fishermen, divers, yachties and visitors alike.

You can go Deep Sea Big Game Fishing for marlin and tuna during the summer months.

You can enjoy the Inshore/Reef Fishing or Diving all year round,be it line, sea fly, night fishing, rock fishing or surf casting.

Or just cruise the waters by yacht or by powerboat - relax and enjoy.

You can take to water from almost any coastal city, thoughfor fishing we recommend Northland, Bay of Plenty and Marlborough in particular.

For sailing, any North Island location plus the Nelson - Marlborough region is preferred.

For diving, there are a number of marine reserves around the coast to be enjoyed.
