Overview

  • A private six-hour charter gives your group the boat and skipper exclusively. With more time and no other guests to consider, we can shape the experience around your interests, whether that means learning to fish as a family, exploring more of the lake or spending longer on techniques that interest experienced anglers.

    Your skipper can adapt the pace, fishing methods and level of guidance throughout the day, giving you a genuinely personal experience rather than a fixed itinerary.

    Once fishing, our fully electric trolling motor means no engine noise. Its GPS route-following system can guide the boat along the fishing route, leaving your skipper free to spend more time helping your group, 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 private experience on Lake Hāwea.

Activity itinerary

Meet your skipper at the Lake Hāwea boat ramp at The Camp and board our comfortable fishing boat, reserved exclusively for your group for six hours on Lake Hāwea. After a short safety briefing, we’ll head onto the lake and choose where to fish based on the conditions and what you want from the day. With the boat to yourselves, there’s time to explore more of the lake, stay longer in productive areas and adapt the fishing as conditions change. Target rainbow trout, brown trout and salmon using trolling and downrigging, with opportunities to try spinning, jigging or other techniques where suitable. Beginners can be guided through everything, while experienced anglers can take a more hands-on approach. Our fully electric trolling motor means no engine noise while fishing. Enjoy the alpine scenery, locally sourced treats and cold drinks. Bring your own lunch or pre-order a locally prepared lunch. If you keep a legal catch, we can clean and vacuum-pack it for you. Catch-and-release is equally welcome. After six hours, we’ll return to the Lake Hāwea boat ramp.
