Tripadvisorâs approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Have been on Timâs cruises twice now, once for a work do and the other for a stag do. Would have another function on here in a heartbeat. Ticks all the boxes!! Tim and his wife are great hosts and allow everyone to have fun and get a bit silly in a safe manner. If youâre thinking of booking Iâd definitely recommend!! Cheers guys, awesome couple of trips!

My husband and I drove from Auckland to meet our daughters in Taupo, who had driven up from Victoria Uni. None of us had ever been out on the Lake before!
As it was school holidays, the charter was very busy. But Tim managed to fit us in for a lovely afternoon.
The girls went out on the paddle board and our youngest even went on the sea biscuit. We laughed so much we almost came apart at the seams. Jumping off the boat into the pristine water was definitely a highlight for me.
We even came back for a romantic anniversary trip just the 2 of us.
Tim and Olivia are such wonderful hosts, putting us at ease immediately.
We will absolutely be back! Such special memories made.

Took the work crew out for an afternoon out on the water. Cold beers and great food on board. Skeet shooting was something fun for the group. Plenty of room on the vessel, and a great view from the top deck.

Hi Dion, It was a pleasure hosting your Work Group for a few hours of fun on the water. We hope your Trout, that we had smoked and sent to you, was good? Top Cat Charters looks forward to having you back again for your next break.

This was one fun afternoon! We all absolutely loved the time spent on the boat. The skipper was entertaining- had us all in fits of laughter - but also made sure we were safe.
The food was great and filling, the target shooting was as a good time, and the byo option was the best. We loved it, the staff loved it - said it was the best afternoon theyâve had. Would 100 percent do it again.

An amazing afternoon we all had on our work function, highly recommend this for any occasion. Tim and Oliver were amazing hosts. Many in the team enjoyed the clay shooting at the top of the boat.

Hi Natasha,
Thanks so much for your king review of Top Cat. You had some 'gun' shooters in your group, the clay shooting is always a fun and competitive activity. Get some practice in for the next work do.

Our henâs group had an incredible time on the lake and were so impressed with the hospitality we were shown! The boat is super comfortable inside and out and has a great sound system. The skipper and mate were very attentive and lovely to deal with. I wouldnât hesitate to recommend booking with Top Cat Charters. Thanks so much!
