Reviews: Kaikoura Sea Fishing in South Island, New Zealand - Captain IAN (Experienced Local Captain + Lobster Catching and Fishing at Sea)
Guest User2026-01-03
This was a fantastic trip. The captain led us to enjoy the abundant fish resources. He was also very responsible for ecological sustainability, only allowing us to take lobsters that met size requirements. While fishing, he also asked if we planned to eat and cook our own meals, adhering to the principle of not overfishing and avoiding waste. We enjoyed a wonderful 2.5 hours, and when we left, we took two lobsters and ten fish – enough to last us three days! We almost couldn't finish them all. I highly recommend chartering a boat to enjoy a wonderful fishing experience! Thank you to the captain and his assistant.About
