Marine Information - Bay of Islands, New Zealand
The New Zealand coast is one of the most famous of all fishing waters. The best anglers from all over the
world come here to set new fishing records. The area is now famous as the "An Angler's
El dorado" after Zane Grey's book "Tales of the Angler's El dorado, New Zealand". In their thousands billfish swarm along this coast each year from late December until June.
Each year, like a flock of returning birds over four hundred international
cruising yacht sail into the Bay of Islands between October and December. These web pages are designed to inform cruising yachting person
