Blue Water Adventures, based out of Whangaroa in Northland, has been creating unforgettable memories for both Kiwis and international visitors for decades. Blessed with great fishing on their doorstep, the team offers a wide range of charter options from day trips to long-range, offshore voyages.

The species options available on these trips include snapper, kingfish, marlin, swordfish, ‘puka, and bass.

The Blue Water Adventures team pride themselves on being able to plan and deliver trips designed around anglers’ personal dreams and goals… and they’re always up for a challenge!

A well-known and highly regarded vessel around New Zealand, Demelza is a vessel purpose-built for extended periods of offshore fishing. The boat is literally built like a battleship, constructed from steel and boasting the strength and seakeeping ability of a much larger vessel. Starting life as a tuna surface line vessel, Demelza has successfully fished to the limit of our territorial waters (200 miles offshore) and safely delivered her crew and catch home for many years.

Demelza has been fully refitted for serious charter fishing and has had every part and system on the boat upgraded to an extremely high standard. With comfort and safety at the top of the list, no expense has been spared in setting up the boat with the very latest equipment available.

Demelza has generous sleeping quarters to accommodate up to eight anglers, complemented by a domestic-size galley and bathroom facilities. Deck space is where the boat really stands out, with huge fore and aft decks and wide walk-around access meaning fishing is not just restricted to the cockpit. There is over 30 metres of safe room along the rails of Demelza, allowing tons of space for anglers to spread out and fight their fish. The covered cockpit also contains livebait tanks, a bait station, and a huge central table with a built-in BBQ.
