Located on the main wharf in Muriwai Drive beside the Whakatane river, The Whakatane Sportfishing Club is home to New Zealand's largest Tuna Tournament held annually in late January not to mention a host of other competitions warranting a mention in every fishing enthusiast's diary.

Established in 1966 because of the prime game fishing grounds where Yellowfin Tuna soon became the target for many anglers. Whakatane, New Zealand is well respected worldwide as a popular Sportfishing destination.

The completely new and modern Whakatane Sportfishing Club building is constructed in timeless Rimu carried over from the previous old building. Inside, an extensive array of fish mount's and fishing memorabilia is on display.
