Bay of Islands offers awe-inspiring experiences under the water, with purpose-sunk shipwrecks and an abundant marine life providing the basis for dive exploration.
Further enthralling dive experiences can be found across the gulf from Auckland in The Coromandel. Here, your superyacht can stop off for you to delve into mesmerising underwater seascapes in the Whanganui A Hei Marine Reserve.
Head also to Marlborough Sounds for a unique voyage through a collection of ancient sunken valleys to reach intriguing hidden treasures, while there are plenty of inviting beaches and coves for more relaxing days.
Should your superyacht charter venture to the South Island, you will be treated with even more natural delights to gaze upon from your luxury base. The remote Fiordland is a spectacle that truly encapsulates the essence of exploration associated with superyacht charters.
Characterised by snow-capped mountains, majestic waterfalls and dramatic hills, the Fiordland is a dramatic and diverse region where you can make the most of your superyacht in complete and utter seclusion.
