As the home base of the event, Pine Harbour provides the perfect setting for Canteen rangatahi to gather before and after a day on the water. The harbour buzzes with energy — from classic cars lined up to take rangatahi to the fishing club for the prizegiving and feast, to the chance to explore a police boat, helicopter, or fire truck often on display.
This welcoming space is what makes CanFish more than just a fishing competition — it’s a day filled with fun, connection, and unforgettable experiences for Canteen rangatahi.
"It’s an absolute highlight of the calendar for our rangatahi," says Nick Laing, CEO of Canteen Aotearoa.
