About

On South Island, Top Catch Fishing Charters operates from South Bay Main Marina, Moa Road, South Bay, Kaikōura 7300, New Zealand. The charter outfit is known for taking visitors out on the water from its base at the marina, with the Kaikōura coast providing the setting.

First-time visitors can expect to join a trip departing from the marina, where the boat and crew are based. A 4.8 out of 5 average across 114 reviews places it among the better-regarded charters in the area. The website at http://www.topcatchcharters.co.nz/ carries details of what is available.

Reaching the marina from Christchurch, Nelson, Blenheim, Dunedin, Queenstown, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura is straightforward by road, with Kaikōura sitting on the main coastal route. The South Bay marina location keeps the departure point close to the town.

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so the seasons are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. Dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast, and te reo Māori place names are used throughout the country alongside English.
