30  Crewed Luxury Yachts for Charter in New Zealand

New Zealand Yacht Charters

Charter vacations in the South Pacific cruising grounds of New Zealand benefit from an abundance of activities and itinerary choices offered by the combination of the North and South Islands. With the Tasman Sea to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east, the sailing conditions are excellent and each year play host to the prestigious superyacht regatta, the New Zealand Millennium Cup.

New Zealand Luxury Yacht Charter Guide

Both the North Island and South Island of New Zealand feature coastlines peppered with a canvas of bays, harbours, fjords and stunning beaches. Renting a private crewed motor yacht, sailing boat or expedition yacht here is a fantastic way to explore the breath taking scenery any time of year, from the glaciers and snow-capped mountains in winter to the winding vineyards and semi-tropical beaches in the summer.

New Zealand is the perfect destination for active charterers looking to partake in adrenaline fuelled activities on water and land as well as try out all of the toys carried on board your charter yacht. Known as the ‘white knuckle capital of the world’, there are endless opportunities to create an experience of a lifetime as well as enjoy cruising conditions and sheltered anchorages that have attracted sailing enthusiasts for hundreds of years.

Luxury Yacht Charter Itineraries in New Zealand

New Zealand’s South Island is the less populated, more rugged of the two and is ideal for more relaxed exploration of the spectacular Marlborough Wine Country and a varied landscape. In contrast, the North Island is home to some of the world’s most vibrant modern cities such as Auckland which offers a great selection of shops, bars, restaurants and busy harbours. Auckland is also the gateway to 144 islands and bays of the Bay of Islands which can create a comprehensive and varied itinerary all of their own.

About New Zealand

Why is New Zealand a good sailing destination?

The Marlborough Sounds, a network of sunken river valleys filled with clear blue waters and surrounded by hills, offers tranquil sailing conditions and picturesque scenery.

Further south, the dramatic fjords of Fiordland National Park provide a unique sailing backdrop. These ancient waterways, steeped in Maori mythology and teeming with wildlife, provide an unmatched combination of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

New Zealand is also known for its ideal sailing conditions. The prevailing westerly winds provide excellent sailing conditions, and the temperate climate makes for comfortable voyages throughout the year.

Moreover, the country’s strong maritime heritage adds a rich cultural dimension to its sailing appeal. New Zealand’s deep-rooted Maori traditions, its modern status as a premier yachting hub, and its renowned friendly hospitality make it a truly welcoming destination for sailors.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in New Zealand

Sailing boats provide an authentic connection to the sea, allowing you to feel the pulse of the ocean and the power of the wind. They’re perfect for navigating New Zealand’s coastal routes, from the vibrant Bay of Islands to the tranquil Marlborough Sounds. With a sailing boat, you’ll enjoy a perfect balance of comfort and performance, ideal for both thrill-seeking adventurers and those seeking a serene sailing experience.

On the other hand, a catamaran might be the best choice for those looking for stability, spaciousness, and luxury. With their dual-hull design, catamarans offer exceptional stability, making them an excellent choice for families or those new to sailing. Their large deck space and panoramic views are perfect for leisurely exploration of New Zealand’s diverse landscapes, from the stunning fjords of Fiordland National Park to the secluded beaches of the Bay of Islands.

At Yachting.Rent, we cater to both preferences with our expansive range of high-quality sailing boats and catamarans. All our vessels are well-maintained and equipped with modern amenities, ensuring an enjoyable and safe sailing experience.

Whether you’re drawn to the romance of a sailing boat or the comfort of a catamaran, let Yachting.Rent guide your selection.

Highly recommend. Crew were amazing and so friendly. They were highly knowledgeable and answered all my questions It was such a relaxing few hours out on the lake

This is an incredible experience! We were only 6 people on board, and we felt very privileged being there. There were hot drinks and biscuits in the 9.30am trip which were appreciated with the cold weather. The explanations, the experience everything was excellent. Dany and David were the perfect hosts for this experience! We strongly recommend them!

We booked to sail on Kindred Spirit, but were upgraded to Tiua, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The catamaran was much more roomy and probably more stable than the yacht. There was also a very spacious & comfortable internal area on the Tiua (including toilets), where you could see fairly well but stay warmer (& drier if the weather was damp). The pizza and drink were a great addition, and we were grateful to be able to get gluten free pizza (Pizza Hut) by requesting them at the time of booking. We enjoyed sitting in beanbags on the front of the catamaran. Dave was a friendly and entertaining host and gave us interesting information as we travelled, without it sounding like a pre-written tour speech.

It was such a lovely day not only because the weather was amazing! The guys were not only super kind but also made sure we got all out questions answered. We even did some fishing that day! Plus they invited us to stay on the boat even after the tour was over to sail with the next tour. we need more tourist guides like you! Thanks for everything :)

Amazing experience run by a very professional outfit. Despite there being quite a few people on board who not sailors, I never felt unsafe. With drinks and food laid on we had a lovely cruise in slightly choppy waters. It was great fun when we went under sail. Fully recommend

Escape61225278750

Great fun, a beautiful catamaran and excellent crew. The outward bound trip, into a strong headwind and 1m waves was bouncy and fun. The view of the rock carvings and the return voyage (under sail) were very smooth and relaxing. The opportunity to swim in the lake was great fun ( for those of us brave enough to jump!). Overall an excellent day and good value.

Yacht Charter in New Zealand

New Zealand yacht charter

New Zealand is a destination with rugged, untamed beauty. Located on the southwestern Pacific Ocean, it is home to world-class wineries, rich heritage, and a people whose love for the water is ingrained in their DNA. With more boats per capita than any other country in the world, New Zealand is a yacht charter haven.

How much to charter a yacht in New Zealand?

You can find a myriad of yacht charter options in New Zealand, from catamarans for full-day yacht charter itineraries to superyachts that can accommodate a group of 30 for a one-week liveaboard; New Zealand won't disappoint. With different price points depending on many factors, a catamaran with five cabins and 138 feet in length can cost around $107,000 for a full week's rent. On the other hand, a sailing yacht with 5 cabins and a length of 170 feet can cost around $193,000 per week. And lastly, for a motor yacht that's 197 feet in length, a week's charter can cost around $375,000.

What are the most popular yacht holidays in New Zealand?

New Zealand is blessed with so much natural beauty and a beautiful coastline that spending time outdoors is but a natural habit for locals. One of the country's favorite pastimes is sailing, with hundreds of islands to explore, and coastline towns and cities that offer undeniable beauty and adventure. New Zealand's top yacht charter destinations are divided into two: the North and the South Island.

Let's begin with the North Island's top spots: the Bay of Islands and the capital city of Auckland. The Bay of Islands is recognized to be the top yacht charter destination in the country. With over 140 islands to explore, this North Island spot is teeming with adventure and relaxation at the same time. A maritime playground, the waters are rich in marine life, with dolphins swimming beside boats as they cruise through the waters being a common sight. There are also glorious beaches around the islands, rich history, and plenty of diving opportunities, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on the boat as you cruise from one island to the next.

Auckland, the capital city of New Zealand, is also known as the "City of Sails." This world-class sailing destination is the location for many competitive sailing races, including the famous America's Cup. The city is also known as the jumping-off point to the famed Hauraki Gulf, which features over 500 sheltered anchorages, beaches, fishing spots, and islands with plenty to offer the most discerning traveler. Auckland is also the jumping-off point to Waiheke's island, famous for its wineries and art scene, as well as the Motuihe Channel, known for its excellent fishing grounds.

The South Island of New Zealand offers more rugged landscapes, more exciting adventures, and more activities. Abel Tasman, located at the very tip of South Island, offers crystal clear waters and golden sand beaches. It is also a National Park, which means its coastal paradise is virtually untouched, with fascinating geography and beautiful scenery. The Tonga Island Marine Reserve is also found here, a protected underwater environment perfect for snorkeling and diving.

And lastly, Marlborough Sounds is yet another one of New Zealand's most famous yacht charter destinations. One of the most incredible locations in the South Island, you can find sheltered bays and views of forested mountains from the water. With golden beaches, untouched natural scenery, and plenty of islands to explore, the Marlborough Sounds is a definite South Island visit.

Where to go on a luxury yacht charter in New Zealand?

Auckland is the top spot for luxury yacht charters in New Zealand, simply because the city is the capital and offers high-end shopping, a bustling nightlife, and marinas that provide world-class berths and amenities. The Silo Marina and the Westhaven Marina, located in Auckland, are two of the top marinas in New Zealand, offering hundreds of berths and luxury amenities.

The Bay of Islands is another top luxury yacht charter destination for being the country's yachting center. With marinas that offer excellent amenities and facilities and hundreds of safe anchorages, this destination truly creates one of the best luxury yacht holidays in the Southern Hemisphere.

And the last on our list is Whangarei Harbour, home to countless marinas and only 2 hours away from Auckland. The marinas are near the city's CBD, restaurants, resorts, and the Harbor itself offers excellent diving, game fishing, and famous cruising grounds. The area is also home to lakes, rivers, and swimming with dolphins are but a regular thing.

New Zealand is a beautiful South Pacific Island with so much to offer in yacht charter excursions. With islands to the north and the south, take your pick from a relaxing yacht charter adventure or an adventure-packed expedition with scuba diving, kite surfing, cliff jumping, and even bungee jumping added to your yacht charter itinerary.

"If you do nothing else on the North Island of New Zealand, treat yourself to a sunset sail aboard the staysail schooner Arcturus, a fine old yacht once owned by General George Patton and lovingly restored by Captain Bruce Robertson Dunlop."

"We spent our first day in Auckland sailing Arcturus; a perfect way to enjoy our first day in NZ. The crew, Captain Bruce and Max, was extremely competent, friendly and willing to discuss / educate our family on sailing a classic beautifully restored 1930 Alden sloop. A fun time was had by all. Bring layered clothing and waterproofs for inclement weather and enjoy what ever nature brings."

The New Zealand yacht charter scene is quite spectacular. But it's no surprise that New Zealand and yacht charters go hand in hand. The New Zealanders (Kiwis) are particularly at home on the water with more boats per capita than any other country. This is a reflection of the quality of incredible cruising grounds within what New Zealanders term 'Godzone'. With the demand for tours going from strength to strength, what better way to see the 'Land of the Long White Cloud' than aboard a superyacht, and seeing this amazing counry how the locals would - from the water.

Known mostly for its mountainous white peaks and dense forests as shown in the Lord of the Rings films, New Zealand has plenty of maritime activities and coastal locations to match the inland environments it is famous for. A number of stretches along the North and South Islands are common charter grounds, including Fiordland, Marlborough Sound, the Abel Tasman, the Bay of Islands and also the Bay of Plenty close to Auckland, New Zealand's most populous city.

New Zealand truly is one of the most stunning countries on earth. This land holds an ancient mystic, worthy of countries far older. Its beauty can be rugged or intoxicatingly tranquil - still and perfect.

Fiordland on South Island's southwest coast is full of misty isles, rocky cliffs, lush vegetation and cascading waterfalls that are resting grounds for seals, dolphins, whales, penguins and a host of migratory birds. Milford Sound is the most famous of the locations to be found here but Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound are ideal destinations for fishing trips to catch blue cod or dive for lobster. The southernmost point of New Zealand is a great location for those who want to feel as if they have come to 'the edge of the world', which it was to many only 150 years ago.

Marlborough Sound and the Abel Tasman are at the northern point of the South Island and ferries from Picton will pass through this way to reach Wellington on the North Island. The area is a vinter's paradise and vineyard tours followed by wine tasting sessions can be organised for interested groups. On a yacht charter in New Zealand, you'll be spoilt for choice of fine cuisine and wines. The seas and Sounds are filled with fish and marine life including the famous green-lipped mussel, lobster and scallops. In Marlborough, you'll find the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world.

40km of national park territory is part of the breeding grounds of the Little Blue Penguin - or Fairy Penguin - which comes ashore between November and March to nest. Herons and dolphins are regularly spotted in the area by kayakers as they roam between the islands. There's also a chance to catch a glimpse of whales playing in the clear waters. D'Urville Island has excellent coves to snorkel and dive while water-skiers and windsurfers will discover excellent territory for day-long activities.

As a young country, New Zealand takes care in preserving the history which forms its national identity. Wherever you charter, you are sure to find plenty of museums and galleries dedicated to the lives of early explorers. The university town of Dunedin has a plenty of Victorian architecture and there are guided tours of the most significant buildings as well as a steam train for a day ride into the countryside.

New Zealand Yacht Charter Enquiry

The boat was amazing and we had the best time. The captain and all the crew where so lovely, they couldn't be more helpful - so much so we gave them a (very good) tip. Capri was so beautiful but you couldn't move for the people, we did all the islands; weather was so hot we just swam, ate and took in the sights. Thanks so much for your help.   A. Davies from New Zealand - chartered in Italy.
