Ryan Churches

Epic is super stoked to have Ryan join its ranks. Ryan has been fishing the Coromandel waters for as long as he can remember.
With a passion for all kinds of fishing whether it be lures under birds, stray-lining for big snapper or dropping livies and jigs for big kings! Ryan puts in his all to get people onto that trophy fish!

Like all of Epics skippers fishing runs deep in their blood, Ryan is no exception and is often out on the boat honing his skills always searching for that horse on his days off!

CHURCH is a versatile Bluefin 665 with a stable 2.5 beam and comfortable seating making her a perfect vessel for chasing kingies and big game fish.

These guys are hilarious, knowledgeable, and damn good at catching fish. My wife and I left the boat exhausted and sore from reeling in massive snapper and king fish all day. If you’re coming to NZ in search of a deep sea fishing charter, look no further. I can’t recommend these guys enough, especially Captain Ryan of “Church.” Tight lines y’all. Timothy

exhausted and sore ….

Thank you so much captain Kit! You did a well-done job this last Sunday! Unfortunately, I got smashed by a giant Kingfish, I hope next time it will be different!

Thanks Kit
