DISCOVER NEW ZEALAND BY YACHT
New Zealand opens the door to entirely new and exceptional charter experiences — from the wild beauty of the South Island to the sophisticated shores of Auckland and the untouched gems in between.
It is cruising that rewards curiosity: dramatic landscapes, remote anchorages, world-class gastronomy, exotic wildlife and a sense of adventure that is increasingly difficult to find.

THE NEW ZEALAND EXPERIENCE
ADVENTURE & WELLBEING
A destination for every pace of life.
New Zealand is a mecca for adventure — from skydiving, bungy jumping and canyon swings to white-water rafting, jet boating, kayaking, diving and heliskiing. For those looking to push the boundaries, the opportunities are exceptional.
But the experience can be equally rewarding at a slower pace. Spa treatments, wellness, secluded beaches, beautiful anchorages, exceptional food and wine, hiking, wildlife and simply enjoying the scenery from the yacht offer plenty of ways to unwind.
And that is the beauty of a New Zealand yacht charter: every guest can experience the destination differently. One day might combine an adrenaline-filled adventure ashore with an afternoon of spa treatments and a sunset dinner on board; another might be spent exploring remote coves, fishing, swimming or simply enjoying the tranquillity.

The perfect starting point for a New Zealand charter, with the islands of the Hauraki Gulf offering renowned vineyards and beaches, bird sanctuaries, hiking and effortless island-hopping. Great Barrier Island adds a more secluded, natural dimension as the route heads north.
Bay of Islands & Northland
A beautiful progression from Auckland, with hundreds of islands, quiet coves and pristine waters. Fishing, diving, hiking, sailing and exceptional local food and wine all sit naturally within the itinerary.
South Island & Fiordland
For the more adventurous charter, Stewart Island / Rakiura and Paterson Inlet open onto pristine wilderness, while Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound bring dramatic fjords, mountains and waterfalls to the experience — alongside Bluff oysters and fresh lobster.
