A Private Charter with a Personal Kiwi Touch

You can also upgrade with a fresh grazing platter or bring your own picnic to enjoy on board. It’s a relaxed and social setting, perfect for connecting with friends or family while surrounded by natural beauty.
As you sail, discover the Coromandel’s hidden gems — from remote coves to calm swimming spots that feel like your own private paradise.
