Private Charters (Exclusive Cruise)
Make the boat yours for 60–120 minutes of relaxed hosting on our classic 1975 Fiordlander. Cruise with up to 60 guests, enjoy uninterrupted views, and use the space for a welcome, awards, or team update while the Remarkables, Willow Islands, and Kawarau Falls Dam set the scene.
Add simple nibbles, we can organise platters, work with your caterer, or you’re welcome to bring your own food. Play your own music, run a presentation, or set up light branding to make the experience truly yours.
Choose how to run drinks: a bar tab, vouchers, or pay-as-you-go for Central Otago wines, local beers, bubbles, and hot drinks. Easy to plan, easy to love, and guaranteed to impress.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
Our Reviews
This is a great experience for anyone wanting a relaxed cruise filled with interesting background and information on Queenstown. Enjoyed every second of it and would do it again. The captain of the boat has a witty sense of humor and knows his stuff!
