About us

The Tairua Pauanui Sports Fishing Club is located within the tranquil harbour between the towns of Pauanui @ Tairua. Spectacular fishing is at the doorstep with Shoe and Slipper Islands within a couple of short miles of the harbour entrance and provide fun safe fishing year round for both the family and the seasoned serious angler.

The Aldermen Islands area is within 11 miles of the coast and provides challenging populations of fish species whilst the big game pelagics flow in and around this area from around late December. The clubrooms sit on the top floor of the Tairua Marina complex and offer the best views in town out across the harbour. The ground floor of the building offers a fishing, diving @ tackle store (Dutchy@s Tairua), a gym (Paradise Gym) and a boat brokerage (Grady White Boats NZ).

The club house is fully licensed and meals are available at the clubrooms from Marine@s Kitchen. Ample car parking is available at the club and the Tairua Ferry is close at hand at the end of The Esplanade for those needing to get to and from Pauanui. There is boat trailer parking on the grass verge areas surrounding the Club and a brand new concrete boat ramp next door. Launching and parking is free at this ramp. Mooring for larger boats is available in the Tairua Marina or in the harbour.
