46 South Fishing Charters

46°south is a family-owned fishing charter business based in Bluff, New Zealand, at the southern gateway to Stewart Island. Established in 1999, the company draws on its crew’s local knowledge of the region’s tides, currents and productive fishing grounds to offer guided adventures around Bluff and Stewart Island. Its charters focus on two southern specialties: blue cod and crayfish, also known as spiny rock lobster. Guests can fish for blue cod and help check and haul crayfish pots, while enjoying the coastal scenery and the crew’s welcoming southern hospitality.

46°south offers half-day trips and full-day fishing charters, with fishing equipment supplied. The experiences are designed for seasoned anglers and first-time fishers alike, with hands-on guidance and an emphasis on a safe, enjoyable outing. The business also promotes custom Stewart Island fishing and hunting experiences. Visitors can explore catch and trip galleries, read customer reviews, and contact the crew to plan or book an adventure.
