About this charter

Local Knowledge Charters operates from Havelock Marina, positioned at the direct gateway to Pelorus Sound and Kenepuru Sound in the Marlborough Sounds. This strategic base allows rapid transit into secluded waterways bordered by steep forested hillsides and tranquil coastal bays, setting the scene for focused fishing weekends away from heavy vessel traffic. The charter navigates distinct seasonal fisheries across both sounds. Summer months draw energetic kingfish into the warm, sheltered reaches of Kenepuru Sound, providing opportunities for light-tackle and lure fishing. Meanwhile, the outer stretches of Pelorus Sound consistently produce abundant blue cod fishing throughout deep channels, rocky shelves, and submerged drop-offs. Guided by keen insight into local water movements and structure, Local Knowledge Charters delivers a methodical and rewarding excursion for private groups. Guests can combine productive days on the water with the quiet serenity of the Marlborough Sounds.
