The Cook Islands - Marlin Queen Fishing Charter

In January, we headed off with family to the Cook Islands for a bit of a holiday. We were super keen to try our luck marlin fishing, so it wasn't long till we had booked a charter. 

We decided to go with the company Marlin Queen as they seemed to have had a fair bit of luck on their boats (with a 300+kg marlin!!), and we were impressed to find out the reels they use are worth around $3000 each! We loaded up on the boat, got a run-down of the 'rules', and got some tips, before heading out on the search for some game fish.

It was amazing to see the island from a different perspective and to see just how blue water can get. Was a great thing to witness!
Our trip lasted about 5 hours, and we actually had some luck for a change! Without giving too much away, we managed to pull in a couple of decent sized fish. A great way to spend a holiday on the Cook Islands!

Check out our video and see how amazing the scenery is around the Cook Islands, and you might even catch a glimpse or 2 of some great fish. A big thank you to Marlin Queen Fishing Charters for a fantastic day!
