Luxury Charters Through Secluded Bays and Island Coves

With its endless coastline, secluded bays, and island-dotted waters, New Zealand is a sailor’s paradise. Whether you’re looking for a laid-back harbour cruise, a wildlife-rich day trip, or a luxury overnight escape, there’s a perfect place to get on a boat. From the subtropical north to the remote southern reaches embark on an unforgettable sailing journey.

Discover

New Zealand is made for exploration, and sailing opens up its lesser-seen gems. Cruise through the Bay of Islands’ turquoise waters and historic coves, or venture to Great Barrier Island for a wilder, more remote experience. Down south, Stewart Island rewards the intrepid with wildlife-rich inlets and a true sense of isolation. Whether you’re island-hopping or charting a course off the beaten track, these destinations invite you to discover the raw, untamed beauty of Aotearoa from the water.

Immerse

Sailing is more than movement—it’s about slowing down and soaking it all in. Glide through the calm waters of Abel Tasman National Park, where golden beaches meet lush bush and playful dolphins dance alongside.

These places invite you to connect deeply with New Zealand’s landscapes, rhythms, and timeless natural beauty.

Swim in crystal-clear waters, unwind on deck, and enjoy the serenity of nature with every comfort at your fingertips. This is New Zealand sailing at its finest—exclusive, immersive, and utterly unforgettable. The perfect way to explore and experience the extraordinary in comfort.
