Last week Ivan, Daniel & myself along with five others enjoyed going on a two day overnight charter on Black Magic to the Mercs & Cuvier .... with Gary Stirling of Black Magic Charters based in Whitianga.
Gt. Barrier also an option weather permitting.
Why the name Black Magic ? Answer = because the boat it was the official tow boat used in the successful America Cup Challenge
held here in 2000 & at 48 ft is very well suited to charter work particularly as Gary has made modifications to make it even more suited as well as very comfortable offering :-
Flush Toilet
Hot shower X 2
Sleeps 8 passengers.
12v / 230 v
Fridge, freezer, large ice bins etc.
Cooking & BBQ onboard.
Purpose built fish cleaning facility & Livebait tank
Small tender boat with o/b
Dive bottle refill compressor on board, plenty of storage plus removable stern panel to access rear platform.
Capacity to store 8 kayaks on board.
We went on a special deal which was great value & Gary has indicated he would most likely extend the same deal to any Fishnet members
booking a group of eight on a trip which includes :-
Two day overnight with meals provided.
Fishing gear and bait provided or welcome to use your own.
Night fishing optional
Parking adjacent
Anytime tea or coffee making
Cost pp based on 8 pax = $279
NB = sleeping onboard the night before or on return may at times be an available option. As we discovered this is a huge advantage as can have gear aboard & stowed away the evening before, all ready for an early morning start next day. Likewise on return can relax with a few drinkies to enjoy in a very relaxing setting before eating your takeaway meal whilst recounting events the trip, then drive home refreshed next morning. a nominal charge may apply to cover the cost of showers, use of power & cooker etc.
Make up a party & be in whilst the deal lasts .... can assure you will be in for a great time.
When you cry, feel pain or sadness, no one notices your sorrow .... BUT
fart just ONE time !!!!!!!!!!!
