Let customers speak for us
from 3 reviewsProfessional, helpful and friendly crew. Fishing was spotty early and Panapa Snr worked hard to put us on the right spot. 40 mins of hectic fishing and the boat's quota was filled. There's a reason casual spots are hard to get on their boat!
Highly recommend getting on a charter with Panapa and family! Warwick

We enjoyed the whole experience. The team was really lovely and helpful, and the service was outstanding. I had my three sons on board with me, and they had a fantastic time out on the boat. It was a lovely boat, clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space. I particularly liked how they provided cool chill bags for everyone to put their fish in once they caught it. Great idea! I would highly recommend Panapa Fishing Charter—an excellent family-run business with fantastic service all around. You’re guaranteed to have a great day's fishing.

Folks - ask yourselves: is there a fishing charter:
- that never disappoints every time you go on a fishing trip with them?
- that goes the extra mile to ensure that customers get their quota?
- that looks after individual customers on board?
- that teaches customers tips and techniques on how to fish better?
- that provides a hassle free service and experience that is excellent value for money?
Answer : YES - absolutely !!! Its PANAPA FISHING CHARTERS AUCKLAND !!!
