Bareboat Charter
Our well-maintained Kiwi-designed yachts are ideal for exploring the Bay of Islands. They are easy to handle, even with a small crew, and fun to sail. Some boats feature lifting keels, allowing you to sneak into private bays and anchor right off the beach.
- Fleet of twelve yachts ranging from 20′ to 31′, perfect for groups of two to six people.
- Traveling with a larger group? Charter multiple boats for even more fun!
