Derek Binnie – July 2026

Rob Harris – July 2026

Best Boat and Crew down there (Waihau/Whakatane) by far.  Show their clients the utmost of respect and treat them to a great time.  No show pony boat this one.

John Pizzi – May 2026

Just a quick email thanking you all for the charter overall, it was excellent!  A special thanks to the Skipper of the vessel - he was the next level!! He got involved in cooking, decking, cutting fish, cleaning up after a meal and most of all showed confidence in skippering the vessel.  Well… what can I say about the BIG Fala, he would have to be the best Deckie we have ever seen!!  A very strong man, nothing was a problem to him and a great cook (fantastic)!  Thanks for the great fishing trip, memories, and photos. 

Leon Moreton – May 2026

Was an epic trip with best friends and the best crew! Stories will be told forever.

Jesse Reed – May 2026

Couldn’t have had a better experience on the Cova Rose! - the boys put us onto the biggest fish of our lives straight away, the hospitality was awesome from Rhys and the Ioan.  What a bucket list trip! - definitely looking at the next one!  Thanks again boys at Enchanter Fishing Charters.

Jeremy West – April 2026

We all had a wonderful time away on Radar Blue with Todd and TC. They looked after us, guided us, and provided plenty of laughs throughout the journey, which made it very enjoyable for everyone.

Todd was a great skipper, striking the right balance between professionalism and approachability. He clearly covered all safety features and procedures and shared useful information about the boat and the operation, which I’m sure is always a hot topic with each new group of keen anglers.

TC was also very knowledgeable and created a great atmosphere onboard, most importantly keeping spirits high throughout the trip and of course, his famous mince on toast breakfast.

I’d also like to extend a big thank you to the onshore team, who I know put a huge amount of effort into organising everything behind the scenes and patiently answered the many questions I fired through in the lead up. That support was really appreciated and made the experience seamless for us all.

Overall, we had an awesome trip with many tales to be told afterwards. Thank you for having us.

Paul Wallace – April 2026

Trip of the lifetime.  Anyone considering a charter… book these guys without a 2nd thought!  Just amazing!!!  Thank you Rhys, Ioan and Connor.  You created some amazing memories for us!!!!!

Brian Spiteri – April 2026

I honestly never would’ve thought in my wildest dreams that we’d experience a fishing trip like that. Everything was first class — the food, the accommodation, and the gear.

Skipper Todd had us on the fish every time, and with his right-hand man TC — cooking up a storm and running the deck like an absolute superstar — it made for an unforgettable trip.  Thanks again, we’ll definitely be back.

Wilfried Brocks – January 2026

Many thanks to Cpt Todd and TC for this outstanding fishing experience.  We had a great time on board.  No wind and no waves could stop our team catching big fish!  Best regards on behalf of the Austrians.

Luke Neller – January 2026

Thanks for the trip! The crew on Cova Rose were great and worked hard to put us on the fish.

Billy Wills – January 2026

The Bass is truly a fish of a lifetime.  Thanks to the crew and fishos with me.  Possibly the best 5 days of my life, if you ever think about booking a charter don’t waste your money with anyone else.  Skipper constantly put us onto fish.  Deckies running around like headless chickens helping all us boys catching. The food is out of this world.  On Radar Blue you don’t feel like a client, you feel like family.  Will definitely be back with you boys in the future.

Steve Balks – January 2026

You won’t regret it, the trip of a lifetime!  I’m glad I did it.  I smashed some PBs this trip, the guys on the boat know their stuff.
