DoubleRum

General information

Fishing:
DoubleRum has been a Gulf Harbour Charter Vessel for over 14 years. We depart from Gulf Harbour or Auckland any time the client wishes to depart. We fish the outer reaches of the Hauraki Gulf in the middle area mainly in 55-60 meters out past the Cables. Our boat, due to its size, fishes 12 comfortably on the drift.

We do take larger groups out, up to 16 fishing but this is to be discussed with the Skipper upon booking the trip. Our trips are generally 8 hour Trips. We provide all Bait, Rods, Ice, Berley and Tackle used in our quotations. The species we target are Snapper, Gurnard, Skip Jack Tuna (when in season), Kingfish, Kahawai and Hapukas in winter. We also have great days Shark hunting under the Harbour Bridge on Bronze whalers, these are fun days in October / November, not too far to go and huge fun to catch. Marlin Fishing - Tag and Release or take home. Weekdays or Weekends only out of Gulf Harbour during Mid-January and April. Outline of the Plan: Reserve 3 to 4 days and from those allocated days we pick the best day and depart from Gulf Harbour at 4am, lures in the water by 8.30am. Sleep on the way out if needed. We provide breakfast and lunch on board. What a way to go! Then huge day with trolling in between to hook up some King fish, Skip Jack, Tuna or the occasional Shark, but Marlins are what we are targeting. Very experienced crew. Superb Luxury boat with four double cabins, DVD Plasmas screen for movies and stereo system. Barbeque and fully equipped galley on board with huge chillers. We are prepared, locked, loaded and ready to go. Lines are tight. Also new high fishing concept at 14 feet above the water line in a specially designed game chair developed by Coastal Marine Stainless Steel with 360 degree views plus huge potential for spotting the big ones creeping up into the wake.

Diving Trips
The Barrier in winter offers a unique experience. We do a two night visit with five Divers living on board. We explore the cliffs of Catherine’s Bay and the glassy clear waters of Arid Island doing three dives a day. Visibility in winter is close to 90 feet .Water temperature is not cold. It surprises us actually how warm the water is around the Barrier.

Cruising Auckland
Our Boat is designed for Functions, Boat trips, Party Cruises, Sightseeing in Auckland Harbour for up to 22 persons Cruising the Harbour. We love going up to Kawau for a day visit to Mansion House Bay or Vivian Bay and also across to Waiheke Island.
For evening Boat trips we recommend an on board Barbeque at Tiri Tiri Matangi and a walk at dusk up the native tree lined tracks.
We Can pick up from Downtown Auckland Viaduct area, Gulf Harbour, Pine Harbour, Half Moon Bay and Bayswater.

We do Dolphin watching trips and during August to December we see often Whales on most trips.
We have a great stereo system which makes us a great Party boat and Harbour sightseeing.
