About Kaikoura Fishing

”Jump aboard Kai Moana. Skipper Ian has over 35 years experience fishing the Kaikoura coast. Jump aboard our boat, Kai Moana. Skipper Ian has decades of experience fishing and diving the Kaikōura coast and can cater for all skill levels, from total beginner fishers to experienced anglers. Relax and enjoy the scenery of the Kaikōura mountains and coastline as we depart from South Bay marina to our fishing grounds, the closest of which is only 10 minutes away. First stop is the crayfish pots, where we will try our luck for this Kaikōura delicacy. For the rest of the trip, it’s fish, fish, fish – blue cod, red cod, sea perch, tarakihi, Ray’s bream, bluenose, groper and more. You’re welcome to catch and release. If catching for the table, we will fillet and bag your fish for you, ready for cooking. This usually attracts a huge variety of the seabirds that inhabit the Kaikōura coastline, such as giant royal albatross, mollymawks, petrels and many others. Birdwatchers and photographers will enjoy seeing them taking off, soaring, landing on the water and diving for fish. The seal colony at the tip of the Kaikōura Peninsula is another highlight for nature lovers and photographers. Our crayfishing and deep-water fishing trip costs $200 per person (4-6 hours; minimum 5 people). Planning a family trip, stag do, boys’ day out, corporate or team-building experience?
