About this charter

Based in the Bay of Islands with departures available from Russell or Paihia, Major Tom Adventures delivers dedicated saltwater sportfishing expeditions tailored to serious anglers. The operation specializes in multi-technique fishing programs, capable of incorporating three or more distinct fishing disciplines within a single itinerary along Northland’s productive coastline. Charters often head northward from the Bay of Islands on the opening day, tracking coastal drop-offs and pelagic current lines. Anglers can troll for big game species offshore, deploy live baits over deep reefs to target yellowtail kingfish, or work heavy ledger rigs across inshore pinnacles for trophy snapper. Land-based fishing from remote island ledges is also incorporated when conditions allow. Skippered with technical precision, Major Tom Adventures adapts each outing to targeted species, sea state, and guest preferences. Whether embarking on a multi-day coastal campaign or a targeted offshore pursuit, guests experience high-calibre offshore angling across some of northern New Zealand’s most celebrated open-ocean grounds.
