New Zealand

New Zealand’s two islands have long been a yachtman’s paradise with some of the world’s finest sailing waters and a superb choice of anchorages.

South Island is home to the Marlborough Sounds, offering idyllic cruising amongst dramatic alpine and coastal landscapes, whilst North Island is home to Auckland, the renowned ‘city of sails’, and the perfect backdrop for an adventurous charter.

The coastlines of both North and South Island are made up of bays, harbours, fjords and beaches. Generally speaking the North Island equals beaches and the South Island equals mountains, and both provide ample opportunity for exploring the great outdoors. Known as the white knuckle capital of the world, the unmatched scenery of rain forests, glaciers, rivers and lakes, alpine mountains, and spectacular coastline lends itself to adrenalin pumping activities such as white water rafting, paragliding, kayaking, sky diving, and bung-jumping. But its not all about pushing it to the limits, there are many ways to be laid-back and indulgent including touring the wineries, exploring the wealth of Polynesian and Maori culture, and the strong historic and architectural reminders of a colonial past. Whether your itinerary takes in the marine reserves and islands lying off North Island, or heads to South Island to glide along the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand is all about taking to the water.
