Hi Andrew I have just returned from the States which is why I have taken so long to get this note to you. I just wanted to say that we had a great experience when we hired the MV Hogwash for a family party on 23rd December. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends. Thanks for a lovely harbour cruise, seeing the Auckland skyline by daylight and then by night made it a party to remember!

Maria

Hello Andrew and Danielle Our thanks to you for a wonderful evening on Hogwash Saturday night. We had a memorable time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Jo and Mark

Hi Danielle, I’d just like to say a big thank you for the fishing charter I took with you on the 21st January, everyone had a great time and really enjoyed themselves! The captain and facilities on the boat were brilliant and I think everyone in our party managed to catch at least one fish!! Please pass on my thanks to the captain and everyone else at the red boats for making our trip so enjoyable!
