Chartering a boat to Waiheke Island

Waiheke Island sits 40 minutes across the Hauraki Gulf from downtown Auckland, with white-sand beaches, sheltered anchorages and some of New Zealand's most celebrated vineyards. A private charter avoids the ferry crowds and lands you directly at Matiatia, Oneroa or a quiet bay on the eastern end.

Popular charters include vineyard days with a tender ashore at Man O' War, long lunches at anchor off Onetangi, and sunset sails home past Rangitoto.

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.
