Testimonials

I had a great time with Roy as the skipper. He is knowledgeable and he makes the experience worthwhile. Caught a few kingies but didn't end up keeping them due to their size. Lost a few big ones as it was my first experience with lures on a boat. But memorable experience. Will definitely come back to Auckland and look up Roy again. Thank you.

Just got back from an amazing jig /top water trip with Captain Roy. He is a True master in his craft !!! His local knowledge and ability to read the water and put us on fish was incredible. I got my best Red Snapper and King Fish on this trip. Both on jig 🎣🎶 Highly recommended. Roy is a rook star !!! Thanks captain for an incredible day on the water. 🙏🏼

Have been out many times with Fish N Dips and couldnt reccomend highly enough. Roy is an amazing skipper and great guy. Always a great day on the water.

Great trip out with Roy, very experienced skipper puts you on the fish

Roy was an awesome skipper and knows his stuff. Good communication and tailored the trip according to our group. Our whole group had their best day of fishing. Will recommend Fish N Dips charters if you are looking for one.

We flew in from Sydney hoping to have a great day out on the water, and Roy sure delivered. The boat is perfect for getting out there quickly and is very stable. You’ve set the boat up perfectly and all those hours on the water shows in what you do, thanks for giving our family ( 3 generations of us ) a fantastic experience, it’s a shame we missed you on our days debrief over a beer at the sixteen tun , maybe next time hey. Thanks mate and I’ll be sure to pass my recommendations on to anyone who asks.

Roy is an amazing person and skilled skipper. I highly recommend him for a fishing trip in Auckland.

If you are looking for an unforgettable experience fishing the Hauraki Roy is your man. An awesome boat got us out wide and straight into the the fish. Never experienced workup fishing like it. PBs snapper and kingfish before lunchtime! Premium gear to fish with, also learnt a bit to improve my jigging and slowjigging. Recommend!

I took my workers out on a charter with Roy over 3 years ago. Was such a great experience. I've since done at least 6 - 7 trips with him. Hes always on the move finding the best fishing spots. He really goes out of his way to make sure everyone is catching fish, and teaching them the best way to do it. See you next time!

Caught my first "King" on my second time coming out fishing with Roy, Fish n' Dips Charters, Auckland. Roy the captain is himself very knowledgeable & experienced with fishing as well as the area of fishing grounds. His boat gets you to where you need to fish quicker and further out than many other charters, so no nonsense! He is also very easy going and his fishing business ethics is also something that stands out! I am looking forward to have many more fishing trips with Fish n' Dips Fishing Charters soon. Cheers!

North shore fencing has been going out with fish n dip charters for last few years. Always a great day out with Roy lots fish and good guy to go out with. Cheers for the wicked days out on the water

Was an awesome day out! Roy always gets us fish no mater the conditions. Highly recommend 👌

Such a great charter. Caught our limit. Even got some King fish too! The whole team had a blast. Highly recommended.

Had the best ladies’ fishing trip. I would highly recommend. Best one in Auckland we’ve ever tried and will truly be unforgettable. Roy is knowledgeable and trustworthy. We saw some dolphins and a whale. Truly amazing experience and best part of all, we caught a huge kingfish. Biggest one I’ve seen. You can’t go wrong with Fish N Dips.

Roy is the man , great knowledge of the gulf and fish whisperer. We have been out with him multiple times and highly recommend him and fish n dips charters.

The best fishing experience!! Roy takes care of everything and is extremely knowledgeable. Have been out with him 5 times. Everytime coming home with our limit of nice size snapper. He also got me onto my first kingfish which IL never forget. Highly recommended.

We have been out with Roy from Fish n Dip Charters a few times and I can honestly say the fishing has been second to none . The amount of fish and size of fish I’ve never seen before . Roy is a conservationist and always instil sun his customers to respect the sea and fish that is caught . If anyone wants a great experience fishing give Roy a call . Thanks Eddie - Grey Lynn

Took the family out for a winter fishing trip with Fish n Dips Charters. What a wonderful experience! It was absolutely amazing time on the water. We saw Dolphins, whales and lots of diving birds. It was our first time fishing as a family and we were surprised when skipper Roy told us that we will use lures and no bait. We caught so many Snappers, Kingfish and few other types of fish. Hand down one of the best days for our family in long time. Highly recommended! wish I could give it more stars. Thanks, skipper Roy, for creating such good memories for us all.

Fish N Dips are the best fishing charter in Auckland, hands down. Roy and his team go out of their way to provide a professional, friendly and safe experience for everyone on board. The knowledge, experience and education is first class and the boat and equipment is perfect for catching big fish. I caught my personal best snapper (well over the 20lb weight) with Fish N Dips and have caught more kingfish with Roy than all of my other charter boat trips combined. Well worth the time and money.

I highly recommend Roy from fish n dips charters, we had an amazing experience learning how to fish with lures. I finally landed my first kingfish and it was a big one. Roy took us to fish the workups after the kingfish session it was an experience we will never forget, dolphins whales and diving birds all around us while we filled the bin with some big snappers and other species. Thank you again for an amazing experience and an awesome day can’t recommend your service highly enough me and my crew had the best day fishing ever. We will be back soon to book another trip.

I had an amazing fishing experience with fish and Dips Charters. Captain Roy is very highly skilled skipper. One of the best lure fishing charters in Auckland. Best thing I noticed with Roy is his explains how each lure works, through out the day you get to experience all different kinds of fishing. it was great learning curve. Fish and dips charters is a Complete package. Highly recommend 👍🏼

The best skipper in Auckland. Roy knows where fish is. You will not regret to go fishing with Roy at Fish N Dips.

Always a good day out with Roy on Fish & Dips, very knowledgeable about fishing techniques and equipment. Lure fishing expert. Highly recommended.

If you're wondering whether you should book with Roy, stop wondering and just book. Seriously. Awesome skipper, and sure as hell knows where the fish are, out 5 of the 6 of us onto PB snapper...We're already planning our next trip (and I have my own boat to fish in anyway!).

As a repeat customer I can happily say Fish n Dips is simply amazing. Roy works so hard to ensure his clients have the best experience possible which is easier said than done when it involves fishing! He's generous with his knowledge of fishing meaning you always come away a better fisho than when you started. I would and definitely have gone out with Fish n Dips again.

Had the best ladies’ fishing trip. I would highly recommend. Best one in Auckland we’ve ever tried and will truly be unforgettable. Roy is knowledgeable and trustworthy. We saw some dolphins and a whale. Truly amazing experience and best part of all, we caught a huge kingfish. Biggest one I’ve seen. You can’t go wrong with Fish N Dips.

If you want to catch fish then Roy from fish n dips charters is the man you want go fishing with . Roy will put you on the spot for what ever species your after. Roy will keep on the hunt until the fish are found and then it’s full on . Guaranteed a good day .

I’ve been out with Roy 5 times now over the last couple of years - and looking to book a 6th in over the next couple of months. In that time we’ve caught numerous Kingfish and Snapper! Roy helped teach me a lot of about stickbaiting and jigging for kingis which has proven to be invaluable - skills i now use frequently! Every time i go out i learn a couple new things - Roy is a wealth of fishing knowledge! Roy is very hands on - giving you as much or as little assistance as you need and coaching you through the art of lure fishing (if you need it). I think he has some weird 6th sense with the gannets as well - he ALWAYS knows where they are working. I’ve been out on a couple of other charters where we’ve just gone out into the Hauraki and hoped - not with Roy. He puts in the work to get you on the fish. Some of the workups i’ve experienced on Fish and Dips have been out of this world - hundreds of gannets, dolphins, sometimes whales - are all just the norm. Finally, Roy uses high quality Shimano gear - whether it’s topwater rod & reels, jigging or slow jigging, it’s all a pleasure to use. Fish and dips is easily the best fishing charter in Auckland! Can’t wait for my next charter!

Thanks for an absolutely amazing day that my family and I will never forget. While visiting Auckland from California we were recommended this charter by a friend who went out with them last month and loved it. And boy, we were not disappointed! I never would have imagined we would find such a variety of fish just short distance from Auckland downtown. We caught some kingfish, snappers and other variety of fish we never saw before. We even got to see some dolphins and whales! Roy is a great captain who obviously love what he does. I can not recommend this charter enough. Thank you again for a memorable day for me and my family. 🙏🏼🎣💤🎶

Best charter I have been on in the Hauraki gulf, Roys taught me alot through out the day in targeting kingfish and snapper. A day I'll never forget thank you Roy!!!

Absolutely fantastic fishing experience with Roy! Great and professional service and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended.

It was an amazing experience!!

Thank you Roy for putting me on a monster snapper! If you are looking for value for money I would recommend Roy great experience.

This was one of the best fishing charters I've ever been on. Roy is a great captain, very knowledgeable and passionate about fishing - he knows how to read the water and where the fish are hanging. He had us on big kingfish all day and we also got to see some dolphins and birds. I would highly recommend fishing with Roy.

Awesome skipper. Would highly recommend

Awesome charter would highly recommend. Booked our first trip a few years ago catching my very first kingi and have been coming back ever since. Skipper Roy is very knowledgeable and puts in the effort to make sure everybody has a good time.

The best fishing charters ever!

I've gone charter fishing with Roy (Fish and Dips) exclusively here in New Zealand. I've gone on many guided hunts and fishing trips in North America as well. Roy is always professional and provides a first rate experience. He isn't afraid to motor the distance and get on fish, which means that you spend your time fishing and not just soaking your lines. His gear is top quality as well. Roy has become as much a friend as my first pick in charters here in Aotearoa.

I have been out with Roy 5 timea so far. One trip we went out with Roy and caught more kingfish in 4 hours then I have in 10 years of fishing. Highly recommend

I have fished with Roy of Fish n' Dips for a number of years now and wouldn't fish with anyone else in the Auckland area. Roy knows the area like the back of his hand and gives his customers a good day out. As well as public trips I have also gone with Roy on a several private trips, especially topwater casting for kingfish. I own my own boat but still go out with Roy, he is super knowledgable and happy to share his knowledge. It doesn't mater if you're a first timer or a seasoned pro', if you want to go fishing in Auckland do yourself a solid and book with Roy.

Roy was an awesome skipper and knows his stuff. Good communication and tailored the trip according to our group. Our whole group had their best day of fishing. Will recommend Fish N Dips charters if you are looking for one.

Fish N Dips was such a unique experience! Roy is such a pro, very knowledgeable and always knows where all the fish are with sofisticated gear and good ol' binoculars! Got to see some dolphins and birds hunting, and lucky to bring some huge snappers back home! Best fishing charter in Auckland highly recommended!

Best day for a longtime, I got my fish 20kg kingfish , Roy’s the man
