Blue Ocean charters are the perfect choice for your adventures around the beautiful Bay of Plenty. The company offer fishing trips in-addition to a wide range of water-based activities on their three comfortable vessels.

Blue Oceans Charters have been in business since 1938 and their fishing trips are legendary. Come and enjoy their excellent customer service and attention to detail while you explore these beautiful waters. Whether you are diving or kayaking, swimming or fishing, Blue Ocean Charters will guarantee you an exhilarating and memorable experience.

Blue Ocean Charters also offer accommodation onboard the "Ohorere". Enjoy an evening cruise around the beautiful and expansive Tauranga Harbour, savour a barbecue dinner while you watch the sunset, throw over a line and try your luck catching a snapper, swim or snorkel. This is ideal for family or friends to get together, relax and have fun. There is the option to stay in the harbour or or for the more adventurous, we could cruise out to one of the nearby Islands.
