30ft Dickey 850 Sports Fishing Charter in Whangaroa, New Zealand (2016)

Whangaroa Harbour sits in Northland at the top of New Zealand's North Island, and it's earned a reputation as one of the country's premier big-game fishing grounds. The waters here attract serious anglers chasing marlin, tuna, and broadbill — fish that draw people from across the world to this particular stretch of coastline. The Albacora is a purpose-built Dickey 850 launched in 2016, so the boat and gear are relatively recent. She carries Kilwell rods paired with Penn VSW reels — solid, well-matched equipment suited to the size of fish you'll be targeting out here. Up to eight guests can come aboard, making this a reasonable option for a group of friends or a mixed crew of experienced and first-time anglers alike.
