XL Pacific Bluefin Hunt in the Bay of Islands | Kingfisher 510 Powercat

The crew headed north to the stunning Bay of Islands chasing rumours of massive XL Pacific Bluefin Tuna — and the Kingfisher 510 Powercat was the weapon of choice for the mission.

Watch the full adventure here:

It’s the kind of fishing that demands a capable, reliable boat. The Bay of Islands offers world-class offshore fishing, but getting out wide to where the big bluefin roam means putting in the miles and trusting your hull to handle whatever the ocean throws at you.

The Kingfisher 510 Powercat Centre Console is perfectly suited to this kind of mission. With its award-winning twin-hull design, superior stability, and smooth offshore ride, it handles the longer runs with confidence while giving the crew a rock-solid platform to fight serious fish from.

The lads put in a hard-yak session targeting XL Pacific Bluefin — one of the most sought-after sportfish in New Zealand waters.

The Setup:

  • Boat: Kingfisher 510 Powercat Centre Console
  • Engine: Honda BF135
  • Electronics: Minn Kota Instinct Quest 72″ Shaft with 24V Lithium Battery
