Welcome to Earl Grey Fishing Charters
– as featured on Sir Peter Blake’s Favourite Places Documentary
Our 36 foot vessel, Earl Grey II is purpose built to the highest standard with a particularly spacious cockpit and functional design making it the ultimate fishing machine.
We are based in the Bay of Islands, Northland, New Zealand, 3 hours drive north of Auckland. Dotted with 144 islands and a myriad of secluded beaches, the entire region offers a fantastic opportunity to fish in waters that are rich with an abundance of sealife. It was for this reason legendary author and avid American fisherman, Zane Grey called it the Angler’s Eldorado.
We offer a full range of fishing options tailored to suit everyone’s individual needs including live baiting,cut bait ledger rigs, soft baiting, saltwater fly, light tackle, and jig fishing.
