About this charter

Inewa is a historic 34.4-foot displacement launch built in 1926 by boatbuilder Jimmy McLaren from full-length Great Barrier Island kauri planks. Berthed in prime position at Tauranga Bridge Marina in the Bay of Plenty, this carvel-planked launch preserves an authentic era of New Zealand wooden boatbuilding with its classic plumb bow and native timber detail. Below deck, the cabin displays ten original opening bronze portlights, traditional joinery, and a practical layout featuring five guest bunks between the forward stateroom and saloon. Galley amenities include stainless-steel bench surfaces, an Engel electric refrigerator, and a Wallas Nordic diesel two-hob cooking and cabin heating system tailored for quiet evenings at anchor. Underway, a six-cylinder AEC diesel provides a steady cruising gait of 12 knots, guided by updated Garmin helm electronics including depth sounder, GPS, and fish-finding instrumentation. An integrated boarding platform and electric capstan anchor winch ensure effortless handling on leisurely harbour explorations.
