About Epic Adventures
Epic Adventures is a dedicated sport-fishing charter based at the Main Wharf in Whitianga, specialising in chasing hard-fighting New Zealand kingfish in the rich waters off the Coromandel. Run by a passionate local skipper, the operation focuses on quality light-tackle and topwater fishing rather than crowded mass trips, giving anglers a genuine shot at a trophy fish.
Charters target kingfish around the reefs, pins and current lines of Mercury Bay and the offshore islands, with snapper and other species also on the cards depending on the season. All rods, reels, tackle and bait are supplied, and the skipper coaches both first-timers and experienced anglers on technique, casting and fighting big fish. Half-day and full-day private charters are available, tailored to the group's experience and the conditions on the day.
With an emphasis on small groups, modern gear and serious local fishing knowledge, Epic Adventures has earned a strong following among visiting anglers. For anyone wanting an action-packed day targeting kingfish off the Coromandel, it is one of Whitianga's standout fishing experiences.
