Join clinical nutritionist, Debbie Buddle and local fishing legend Mike from Catch Charters for a food and fishing experience within the beautiful Mercury Islands in the Coromandel, departing from Whitianga Marina.
The Ocean to Plate experience is where you spend the day on the water. Departing Whitianga Marina aboard Catch Charters, we welcome you with a nutritional breakfast as we make our way out to fishing spots around the Mercury Islands, situated within the beautiful Coromandel. Whilst fishing is not guaranteed, Mike is a local fishing legend and will do his best to ensure you catch fish. We then cruise into a tranquil bay where you get to enjoy a swim or snorkel, whilst Debbie prepares an amazing seafood lunch. Bait, rods, life jackets and food for the day is provided which is made from fresh and local ingredients. Mike will also fillet your fish to take home. This is an epic experience and is limited to 6 people.
