About Raglan Fishing Charters
Raglan Fishing Charters operates from Raglan Wharf on Whaingaroa Harbour, running saltwater fishing trips out along the west coast off Raglan and Karioi. With departures right from the historic wharf, it gives visitors and locals easy access to the productive fishing grounds beyond the harbour bar.
The operator offers a flexible mix of trips: shared charters for individuals and small groups carrying up to 18 anglers with two crew across six-hour morning or afternoon sessions; private charters for exclusive groups; and custom full-day or multi-day expeditions targeting big-game species. Everyday bottom fishing focuses on snapper, gurnard, kahawai, trevally and tarakihi, while dedicated trips chase kingfish, hapuka, tuna and even marlin, with rod-and-reel gear hire and bait available onboard so newcomers can simply turn up and fish.
Catering to everyone from first-time families to serious anglers after a trophy, Raglan Fishing Charters combines local skippering knowledge of the west-coast grounds with the option of onboard accommodation for extended custom trips. That range — casual shared sessions through to multi-day game-fishing adventures — makes it Raglan's versatile choice for getting out on the ocean.
