Meet Your Skipper – Roy

Roy has been fishing New Zealand waters for over 20 years, arriving in 2003 and building an intimate knowledge of the Hauraki Gulf ever since. He specialises in lure fishing – topwater, popping, jigging, and everything in between- and has spent years refining his approach alongside some of the leading lure manufacturers in the game.

Kingfish are his obsession. There’s nothing quite like watching an angler’s face the moment a big king smashes a stickbait on the surface, and Roy takes a genuinely hands-on approach; whether you’re picking up a jig rod for the first time or looking to sharpen technique you already have, he’ll have you fishing more effectively by the end of the trip.

He’s also a firm believer in fishing responsibly – practising catch-and-release where it counts, so the Hauraki Gulf stays as good for the next trip as it was for this one.

 Whether you are planning to fish for snapper or kingfish, dive for crayfish and scallops or choose any other exciting service we provide, we can tailor your dream trip to make any adventure on the water come true.

So why choose Fish ‘N Dips Charters? Because we’re passionate about fishing, we have the expertise and equipment to help you catch the big fish you dream about, and we believe that every trip should be an unforgettable experience. Book with us today and let’s make some memories on the water!

We follow and support the biosecurity requirements set out by Auckland Council and the Department of Conservation. Therefore, we ask all passengers to thoroughly check and clean their gear for pests prior to arrival. For more information, click here

Private Full Day - Inshore

Our signature trip, where we don’t just fish, we hunt! The Hauraki Gulf is famous for its legendary workups (Feeding frenzies), where the ocean erupts as dolphins and whales push bait to the surface and hundreds, if not thousands, of birds dive in. We call it the Symphony of Nature, and it just never gets old! This is a high-energy, fast-paced, and the ultimate way to target trophy snapper and kingfish on lures. If you want to see the Gulf at its wildest, this is the trip for you!

  • 10/10 experience. Our captain Roy helped all three of us land our first kingfish thanks to his amazing knowledge of nz waters. Would highly recommend, will remember this day for the rest of my life.
