Private Family Charters

Enjoy a private family charter to Auckland's Hauraki Gulf or anywhere in New Zealand.

There are many milestone events that bring treasured friends and family together. These events create some of our most lasting memories. With so many reasons to come together - reunions, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, or retirement - we believe there may be no better way to celebrate than cruising on our small ship.

Our ship is perfect for an experience that ensures privacy and flexibility while providing endless opportunities to simply be together with the people who mean the most to us.  If there is a special event happening in your life, we invite you to sail away on a private cruise with us.  For families the "Island Passage" offers the perfect platform for a private family cruise.

Features of Private Family Yacht Charters:
