Your Motor Cruising On-the-Water Classroom:

Our charter launches are specially designed for boat charter operation in New Zealand waters. They have a reputation for comfort at sea, making them the ideal Auckland boat charters for extended NZ coastal cruising.

They are comfortably appointed. The spacious saloon gives excellent viewing with a saloon table well suited to the navigational exercises undertaken during the courses. They are operated under the NZ Safe Ship Management programme and carries all the required navigational and safety equipment.

After you have successfully completed the course they are perfect for continuing with your on-the-water experience in New Zealand by bareboat chartering them.
