Client Testimonial

"Having fished on quite a few charter boats over the years with many different captains I have to say that I always look forward to fishing with Daniel on Moana. His enthusiasm and sense of humour never fails to amaze me. We've fished with Dan for some years and he always seems to find us a bunch of nice fish. I just call with my preferred dates and Daniel takes care of the rest. The only downside is sooner or later we have to come home. Dan has become more like a good mate rather than just our professional charter skipper. The new boat is world class and is awesome." - Max Stewart
