Junes getting a bit late in my mind, there are still marlin there then but there arent to many along the coast so the days spent travelling up there and back will probably be dead days(so you're really not getting your moneys worth then).
Striker got his best ever(29 in 2 days) on ANZAC weekend. End of April beginning of May would be a better time and the coast will still have fish.
Plenty of boats but the one(Rick Pollock) you mentioned is good, of course Primetime and Striker but Primetime is $4k a day and Striker is nearly $3k so maybe out of budget? Mark on Reel Passion has been fishing very well and is well priced, he can take a heap of people too which can cut costs a bit.
