About this charter

Takapu 2 is a 28-metre steel motor vessel built by the Whangarei Engineering Company. Originally serving as an official survey ship for the Royal New Zealand Navy, the vessel delivers heavy-displacement ocean-going stability with an aluminium superstructure and commercial-grade mechanical foundations. Twin Cummins KT 1150 diesel engines provide quiet cruising speeds between 9 and 12 knots. Long-range autonomous travel is supported by a 13,000-litre fuel capacity, twin diesel generators, 7,000 litres of fresh water storage, and an onboard watermaker producing 240 litres per hour. The interior layout features four private guest cabins accommodating eight overnight guests across three double berths and one twin, each served by electric heads and showers. A spacious main deck galley includes modern domestic refrigeration, laundry appliances, climate control, and a social bar area, while a 4.4-metre Orca tender handles shore transfers.
