About this charter

Operating seven days a week from the Tatapouri coastline near Gisborne, Touchwood Fishing Charters offers dedicated access to New Zealand's remote East Coast waters. The operation centers on a 45ft walk-around sportsfisher, a vessel designed specifically to manage coastal swells while providing a stable, spacious angling platform. The full walk-around deck permits seamless angler movement around the entire perimeter, an essential advantage when fighting game species or shifting positions along productive drifts. Guided by an experienced local skipper with deep familiarity of the region's sea floor contours, seamounts, and seasonal fish runs, each charter focuses on putting guests onto quality catches in productive coastal zones. The waters off Gisborne offer distinct fisheries shaped by open ocean currents and dramatic underwater topography. Touchwood combines purpose-built sportsfishing capability with sharp regional insight, ensuring that whether guests are seasoned anglers or seeking an authentic day at sea, the experience is grounded in professional seamanship and dependable East Coast angling tradition.
