About us
We would like to give you a brief overview of our services, boat & experience in running boats.
YOUR SKIPPER:
My name is Dave Cotterill & I am the skipper/owner of Kaimoana. I have been involved in the fishing industry on boats both commercial and charter for over 32 years, 28 years of these as the skipper. So we have good experience and knowledge of our waters but we are never to old to learn more. I have a 16 meter skippers licence.
THE BOAT:
We are delighted to show off our latest boat. We can now take 12 people fishing at a time. We have toilet facilities and are still disable passenger friendly
We aim to provide everything you need for an enjoyable day aboard. There is wheelchair/mobility scooter access so all are welcome.
Equipment:
For fishing we have all the equipment, help & advice you could require available at no extra cost so if you're a beginner no problem. Children are welcome with a responsible adult. Alcohol is permitted on board if you wish to bring it but we insist you drink responsibly we will return to port at any time if this rule is not adhered to.
