Tony Marsters
​CAPTAIN

"I’ve been fishing for years around the peninsular and I reckon there’s nothing like local experience to get the punters  on the spot to make sure they have the best chance of making their experience one of the best fishing experiences they will have. My background consists of over 13+ years where I started chartering in the Cook Islands where we targeted Mahi Mahi ,Wahoo, Marlin , Sailfish , Tuna and Giant Trevally. I’ve been in Whitianga 4 + years now and have over 1000+ hours on the water fishing as far North  as Great Barrier Island  and as far South as Tauranga. I’ve also fished Waihou Bay and Gisborne to Mahia.
When I’m not fishing you will often find me behind the helm of Whitianga Coastguards Rescue Vessel Te Morehu. Rest assured you and your mates are always safe fishing with Warfish Charters.”​

What Our Customers Have To Say​

Vicki

Just thought you would like to know that Chris called into the Info Centre and raved about how wonderful their trip with you had been. They were thrilled with the experience and couldn’t recommend the charter more highly. Thank you for giving them such a great day out – we will certainly continue to recommend your services to our Pauanui visitors.

Awesome day, Highly recommend Tony and Warfish. They even arranged to get our fish smoked so we could get it home.

Bec

Just wanted to send you a quick email to ya a huge thank you for today. We all had such a great day, especially since I haven’t been back in kiwi waters for 5 years and it was my boyfriends first time fishing from a boat. We all caught kingys! Shaun was fabulous and you have been so efficient with email comms, so totally appreciate that. Here’s a few pics, thanks again, will definitely have to do it again soon.
Here’s to making a hot kiwi summer!

The day was absolutely incredible. We've all had a blast and got 3 Kingfish. Two 6-7 KG and one 11 KG. We also caught a giant Snapper. We couldn't have imagined it any better. Shawn was really nice. Thank you for everything
