New Zealand has two main cruising areas – Bay of Islands and the Hauraki Gulf – both of which are situated on the North Island. New Zealand has a great deal to offer the discerning traveller and on a yacht charter here you will be spoilt for choice of fine cuisine and wines and breathtaking scenery. The best time to cruise the waters of New Zealand is in the warmer Summer months from November through until April. Summer is generally settled with warm days and onshore breezes.
The Bay of Islands in New Zealand is without doubt the most popular cruising destination in the country. With its hundreds of secluded islands and sub-tropical climate it has plenty to offer and surprise you with. The Bay of Islands group consists of 144 islands with Opua being the main town to cruise from – with Cape Brett in the northeast and Keri Keri in the south west corner. The largest island of the group is called Urupukapuka and this forms a natural barrier protecting the inner islands from any swells. On the lee side of the island are plenty of safe and well protected bays and anchorages. "Hole in the Rock" at Cape Brett is a major tourist attraction and if your passion is fishing the famous King Fish Lodge in Whangaroa is a must.
You can also enjoy a one way cruise to include the Hauraki Gulf and finish in Westhaven Marina, Auckland.
Various yachts can be chartered in New Zealand ranging from sailing yachts and catamarans, power boats, skippered bareboats and luxury fully crewed sailing and motor yachts. Please contact Mariner Boating Holidays on
