Chartering a boat in the North Island

The North Island holds most of New Zealand's cruising grounds: the subtropical Bay of Islands, the Hauraki Gulf, the Coromandel, Tauranga, Lake Taupō and Wellington Harbour.

Popular charters include island-hopping in the Gulf, game fishing out of Northland, lake days at Taupō and harbour cruises in the capital.

BoardMyBoat brings these vessels together in one place. Message the skipper privately through our masked relay, split the cost across your group with book-now-pay-later split payments, and keep someone ashore informed with our safety check-in.
