Clock off, Grab your mates & Get out on the Water!
Looking for something a little different to finish off the working week?
Join the Panapa Crew this December for an afternoon fishing charter, bringing together a few mates, some good company and a chance to enjoy Auckland's beautiful Waitematā Harbour.
Departing at 4:00pm and returning at 8:30pm, these shorter afternoon trips are all about getting out on the water, unwinding after work, enjoying a few laughs and making the most of the summer evenings.
While the shorter timeframe means we'll be staying closer to the harbour rather than heading further out into the Hauraki Gulf, there's still plenty of opportunity to wet a line, chase some quality harbour species and hopefully bring home a few fresh fish.
These trips are less about spending the entire day chasing the big catch and more about enjoying the experience, the company and a well-deserved break from the everyday routine.
Whether you're coming out with workmates, a couple of mates or simply looking for something different to do this summer, we'd love to have you onboard!
