A great place to embark on your charter vacation, Auckland offers great sailing grounds as well as plenty of various activities to incorporate into your New Zealand holiday. From hiking trails, beautiful beaches right through to fine dining restaurants, world-class cuisine and shopping there is something for everyone to enjoy.
An Auckland experience would not be complete without a cruise to the Waiheke Island which offers stunning beaches and native forest reserves harmonising delightfully with cafes, vineyards and art studios. While on the island you can spend the day wine-tasting, shopping or simply relaxing and enjoying some in-water fun. Almost anything is possible on Waiheke, from horse-riding and farm tours to sea-kayaking and mountainy-biking.

Enjoy a day on the Rangitoto Island, created around 600 year ago. You could either take a train to the top of the island or walk up 260 metres to the summit, to view the spectacular 360° panorama of the Hauraki Gulf and Auckland. Rangitoto also boasts lava caves, Pohutukawa forests and beautiful rock formations.
Your charter vacation in New Zealand could incorporate the Great Barrier Island located in the Hauraki Gulf. It is renowned for its unspoiled beaches, native bushland and a large number of unique plant and bird species. Copper mines, Maori pa sites and scenic tracks to beaches are amongst the attractions on the island.
Bay of Islands is a heaven for sailors and visitors holidaying aboard luxury super yachts. The icon of North Island is a maritime playground for swimming, boating, fishing, snorkelling, diving or simply relaxing. The Bay of Island maritime park is composed of 144 islands, secluded bays, untouched coastline and natural harbours. The rich sea life includes such species as marlin, kingfish, seals or dolphins.
