Over 30 years fishing experience
Our Story
Growing up in the Bay of Islands wasn’t just a childhood for Captain Darren Knapping—it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with the ocean. That early passion for the local waters and the incredible marine life within them laid the foundation for what Days Out Fishing Charters is today.

Destinations
From the sheltered reefs of our home base to the rugged edges of the continental shelf, Days Out Charters takes you exactly where the action is.
Our local Bay of Islands trips are legendary, offering world-class fishing for massive Snapper and hard-charging Kingfish, alongside seasonal opportunities for Marlin and Northern Bluefin Tuna. For those seeking the ultimate blue-water challenge, we head to the East Cape to hunt the powerhouse Southern Bluefin Tuna. And for the bucket-list adventurers, our expeditions to the Three Kings provide a gateway to a prehistoric fishery, home to the largest Bass, Kingfish, and Marlin found anywhere on the planet. Wherever the trophy fish are running, that’s where you’ll find us.
