Charter Mana Charters

Mana Charters operates from Bluff, delivering vessel services across the southern waters of Foveaux Strait and the coastlines of Stewart Island. Under the stewardship of skipper Shane, who brings a quarter-century of maritime experience to every voyage, the operation provides access to remote environments that remain largely untouched by commercial tourism. The vessel routinely services Department of Conservation blocks as well as Maori land blocks throughout Stewart Island. Charters are configured around functional wilderness access, supporting hunting parties, diving expeditions, and multi-day tramping drop-offs. Guests seeking a more relaxed passage can commission harbour cruises and scenic coastal tours highlighting the southern geography and sea passages. With twenty-five years on these demanding southern waters, the operation provides a steady platform for exploring New Zealand's southernmost reaches. Shane's extensive experience both on and off the water ensures each passage is handled with quiet precision, whether landing remote outdoor parties on Stewart Island or navigating the sheltered waters of local harbours.
