Private Bay of Islands Sailing Experiences

Discover the Bay of Islands with Silver Wave Charters aboard Cool Change, a sleek and stable catamaran designed for exceptional comfort and performance. Specialising in private charters, each sailing experience is tailored to suit your preferences, from half-day escapes to full-day adventures, sunset cruises, or multi-day voyages. With space for up to 40 guests by day and 10 overnight, it’s ideal for private celebrations, family gatherings, or corporate events.

Explore secluded beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters, or simply relax on deck while taking in the coastal scenery. The spacious covered cockpit offers a sheltered place to dine and unwind, while the forward trampolines invite you to stretch out in the sun. With easy water access from the stern, guests can move seamlessly between on-board comfort and refreshing swims or snorkelling.

Luxury Catamaran Comfort and Performance

Cool Change blends performance with luxury thanks to her innovative bi-plane rig and stable catamaran design. Even first-time sailors can enjoy a smooth, steady ride while soaking up panoramic views across the Bay of Islands. The bright saloon features wide windows, comfortable seating, and dining spaces perfect for relaxing with friends or family.

Onboard amenities include a fully equipped galley, modern bathroom facilities, and ample lounging areas to ensure comfort throughout your charter. Paddleboards and snorkelling gear are included, offering plenty of opportunities for water-based adventure, with optional guided island walks available for those keen to explore ashore. For an added thrill, your charter can even be accompanied by a three-person jetski, creating the ultimate Bay of Islands experience.
