Reel Passion

Reel Passion was launched in January 1998 and is of the latest design and has all the very latest electronic aid's including underwater video-cam and 1200 metre sonar, plus surveyed for up to 8 anglers on extended charters to the Three Kings Islands and other isolated coastal waters.

Reel Passion distinguished itself by winning 4 straight tournaments in it(TM)s first season, as well as catching a new NZ record Blue marlin (Grander) of 456.8kg, (during the Houhora one base Tournament in March) . Seven striped Marlin in one day, a Broadbill, two blue Marlin on the same day, and 34 marlin in 40 fishing days are some of the achievements , the envy of many.

The previous owners took Reel Passion to Samoa via Tonga during our winter of 98 proving the ocean going capabilities and flexibility of the vessel; plus winning the Samoan International Tournament and recording the most gamefish caught in Samoan waters.

We have been able to assist over 70% of our anglers with their first ever Marlin catch, some after countless attempts over many years fishing from various boats around the world. Others like 82 year old Lyal Munro and 9 year old Kane Byles at their very first attempt.

During the winter months we will offer dive and bottom fishing combo's anywhere along the east coast, broadbill, targeting tuna, kingfish, hapuku, and snapper. With the compressor on board we can offer specialist dive trips being surveyed for up to 30 people inshore.

We will continue to offer the very best of professional service and comfort, and build on our reputation as being one of
