The experience

Escape the hustle and bustle of Auckland for a day with a group of friends aboard our 41-foot catamaran Pacific Star. Bring your group on an exclusive Auckland sailing charter, exploring the beautiful Hauraki Gulf from Waiheke Island.

Where can you go? Well, Pacific Star has made numerous trips to the Great Barrier & Pacific Islands, so most areas of the Hauraki Gulf are within easy reach.

Tell us where you’d like to go and we’ll work out the details of your exclusive Hauraki Gulf yacht charter, taking into account the wind and weather.

Perhaps we’ll anchor in a secluded cove where you can swim, snorkel or try stand-up paddle boarding.

If you’d like to take the helm or help trim the sails, skipper Bruce will be happy to show you the ropes.

As we sail, you’ll spot seabirds and other marine life.

Please note that, out of respect for endangered marine ecosystems, there is no fishing aboard Pacific Star.

Departs from and returns to: Ferry wharf, Waiheke Island
