About this charter

Built in New Zealand by the Cook Brothers, the Chieftain 38 is a robust fin-keel sloop engineered for exploring the sheltered waterways of the Marlborough Sounds. Designed with an emphasis on volume and manageable handling, her practical rig makes short-handed cruising unhurried and dependable. The interior provides genuine separation across three private double cabins, encompassing a forward V-berth, a mid-forward double to port, and an aft double stateroom. A convertible saloon berth offers flexible space, complemented by a dedicated head with a hot and cold shower suited for multi-day itineraries. Equipped for independent voyaging, the Chieftain 38 includes a tender, an on-deck barbecue, and an electric anchor winch for holding fast in remote coves. Navigational wind instruments and a complete galley with refrigeration, oven, and grill ensure an autonomous passage through the sounds.
