Private Catamaran Adventures on the Hauraki Gulf

Step onto the Pacific Star and leave the bustle of Auckland behind as Waiheke Island sets the stage for your perfect escape. This elegant 41-foot catamaran provides an intimate setting for friends and family to enjoy a day on the water. With the Gulf’s secluded bays and sparkling horizons, every moment feels like a private paradise.

Your itinerary is as flexible as the wind itself, ensuring your day is tailored to your wishes. Dive into turquoise waters, paddleboard along sheltered coves, or snorkel among thriving marine life. Each stop on your journey offers a chance to create lasting memories in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful marine playgrounds.

Nature, Freedom, and Relaxation at Sea

As you sail through the Gulf, you may spot dolphins leaping alongside or whales breaking the surface in the distance. The Pacific Star allows you to connect deeply with the natural world while respecting the delicate marine environment. With no fishing permitted, the waters remain pristine and thriving for future generations.

For those keen to try sailing, Skipper Bruce invites you to take part in trimming the sails or steering the vessel. If relaxation is your style, stretch out on deck with the sea breeze in your hair and the sun warming your face. Whether you’re seeking adventure or serenity, this exclusive charter blends both seamlessly.
