Welcome to Leigh Fishing Charters, our aim is to give you a GREAT FISHING EXPERIENCE with the view to a relaxed, hassle free enjoyable, fishing experience.

We offer diving trips which can be discussed at the time of enquiring about a booking. We are based at the Leigh Wharf however we do leave from Ti Point wharf on the odd occasion, we will advise you at the time of booking which wharf we will leave from.
