Coro Cowboy Fishing Charters is a family-owned fishing charter run by a father and son, with skippers Zander and Roger, who have fished the Coromandel their whole lives. Its trips work the mussel farms of the Coromandel and the Firth of Thames. Snapper is the main target, and kahawai, trevally, John Dory and kingfish are also caught. The charter offers half-day, full-day and custom trips for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
The boat is a 10.6-metre vessel that carries up to 10 passengers, and larger groups can be catered for by teaming up with a fellow charter, for up to 26 people. Skippers will bait hooks and remove fish for guests who prefer not to. The website says the business was voted a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice 2025 winner. Trips depart from Hannaford's Wharf on Te Kouma Road in Coromandel, although the listing gives a Whakatiwai address on East Coast Road.
