Tickets are $20 for most, $15 for seniors and military

I will explain how this trip works with insights into the overall trip itinerary, the safety measures in place and of course details about the fishery. We will also talk about the partnership with BerleyPro and how they have built arguably the best kayak mothership trip program out there. Marty brings a lot to the table and it shows when you experience this adventure for yourself.

So come join me and pull up a chair so we can talk about the sport we all love dearly… kayak fishing!

03.22.23 Openings on Apr/May New Zealand trips

The BerleyPro team is heading back to New Zealand in April and May for the last few trips of the 2023 season. There are a few openings on these trips that are sure to get filled by a few lucky anglers that want to get a taste of what New Zealand offshore kayak mothership fishing is all about.

Marty, Stephen and Captain Aaron have built a bullet-proof program that will surely satisfy any kayak angler that is keen on getting whooped by some aggressive \’kingies\’ and \’snappah\’. This trip is an adventure… everything from the sheer beauty of New Zealand, the incredibly clear waters, the abundant fishery and the full fishing program that includes local guides and quality Hobie kayaks rigged for success.

You need to bring your rods, reels, PFD, VH1 handheld radio and some tackle… everything else from kayak to localized Catch fishing tackle that will surely get bit will be provided by the team.

We want to see this season finish off with a bang. So if you want in… please contact us by emailing trips@fishvillage.com.


We will be at the Bart Hall Show in Long Beach next week talking about these awesome trips. Come check out the Hobie / Pure Watersports Kayak Fishing seminar booth on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday to talk about this trip, how it works and why it is amazing. The schedule is posted below.

03.05.23 Our last New Zealand trip of 2023 is almost here

Our first New Zealand trip of 2023 has come and gone. The incredible group of anglers had an experience of a lifetime with regards to fishing and weather. Mother nature was angry and almost ruined the party… BUT she didn\’t have the last laugh. The team brushed off the bad weather and threw down with the yellowtail kingfish and snapper and pulled off the unlikely after what seemed to be a doomed trip.

We have a couple of spots open on our last New Zealand trip of 2023 season. This means that a couple lucky people can snag the last opportunity to fish with the one and only Marty Gittens and Stephen Tapp in one of the most beautiful places that I have had the pleasure of visiting.

This is also our last trip at the $3,999 price point. We learned a few things this season that we have to address to ensure the viability of these trips. We are investigating adding trip insurance into the cost of the trip to ensure that all parties are protected in the event of un-fishable weather.

In the coming days and weeks we will be releasing the 2024 New Zealand trip schedule with multiple dates from Feb – May \’24. This is the best time to snag your trip of a lifetime before others do. We have multiple parties circling these dates already which means we are expecting to sell out quickly.
