A New Zealand yacht charter offers some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet, from the rolling green hills and spectacular beaches of the North Island, to the majestic fjords and deep forests of the South Island.
As the first country on Earth to celebrate the New Year, New Zealand offers a summer celebration blended in with Maori culture to create a wonderful mix of past, present and future. The coastlines of both the North and South Islands are a wonderful canvas of bays, harbours, fjords and beaches. Whether your itinerary takes in the marine reserves and islands lying off the North Island, or heads to the South Island to glide along the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand is all about taking to the water.
Known for its pretty towns, fine produce and proud Maori culture, New Zealand offers those visiting on a yacht charter a refined experience in a landscape of truly epic beauty. Visit Northland, Auckland, Rotorua and Canterbury, to hear Maori speeches and singing, meet the local people and enjoy a traditional feast.
As you pass between the North and South Islands, you come to the Marlborough Sounds region, famous for the world-class white wines that grace the tables of the fine restaurants in nearby Wellington and Nelson.
Cruising down the west coast of New Zealand is an experience of a lifetime; the snow-capped Alps looming high over the coast, sea lions and dolphins crowding the sea, and perhaps you’ll even see an orca. Arriving in the fiordlands, your yacht can quietly cruise along these deep canyons between the mountains, past waterfalls and glaciers and tiny little beaches that you have all to yourself.
