Northside Adventures is a fishing charter based at Sandspit Harbour in Sandspit, north of Auckland, just under an hour's drive from the CBD. Charters depart from the end of the Sandspit public wharf, and the business can also launch from Omaha by arrangement. Its custom-built Surtees 750 Game Fisher has a live bait tank, tuna tubes, a private toilet and Garmin electronics, and it can take day trips to the Mokohinau Islands, as well as multi-day trips to places such as Great Barrier Island.
The charter fishes the Hauraki Gulf for snapper, kingfish and other species, using slow jigging, softbaits, topwater, mechanical jigging and livebait. Full-day whole-boat charters are for eight hours or more, and shorter six and four-hour whole-boat trips are also offered, with a maximum of six people. Anglers are advised to take a maximum of four on kingfish trips and five on snapper trips. The website gives opening hours of 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, seven days a week, and bookings and prices are made through the BOOK NOW button or by calling 027 389 7000.
