Customer Testimonials
A group and I went on the Awesome Charters experience in October 2020, the trip was incredible. We were treated like kings the whole time. Hunting in Stewart Island was like no other place in NZ. We all hunted, dived and fished whilst Pete the Chef wasted no time getting it all prepped on the table for us. Highly recommended and looking forward to booking another trip!

Peter and his crew were awesome, nothing was a problem, and they gave us their best. AWESOME has been fitted out very well and will give you the best trip that you could dream of! This was a real adventure and Byron and I had a real buzz. Phil Smith - Hunting & Fishing, KeriKeri
Thank you so much for that Awesome Charter, we had a great time and everyone has the best day. We loved it so much that we want to book again for July next year!Wayne - Northland
We were so privileged to spend time on this ‘Awesome vessel’. Spacious amenities and all the utilities needed for fishing, diving and hunting. Exploring the bays and coves and being in ore of the rugged peaks, birds and wildlife. Great yarns about Rakiura history with the crew and delectable cuisine prepared by the chef. One of many memories of a life time.Anstey - Northland
What an amazing trip. 2 weeks around Stewart Island on board this boat with a crew who have decades of experience working New Zealand’s southern ocean, and are now sharing this knowledge, taking people to some of New Zealand’s most remote and beautiful coastline. Tom - Northland
Pete and the crew of Awesome are simply that, AWESOME!!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our epic adventure exploring the waters off Stewart Island, the boat is a beast and the crew do everything they can to make your experience memorable. Awesome Charters easily ticked all the boxes and some and we’ll definitely be back for another mission soon.Marcus – Whangarei
