Host a memorable event on the water
Auckland has plenty of function rooms. Only one has the Hauraki Gulf as the backdrop. A private charter turns a standard work function into a memorable experience, with Auckland City’s skyline, Rangitoto’s iconic cone and Auckland Harbour doing the work no conference centre can.
Our vessels cater for intimate leadership dinners through to full-company celebrations of up to 350 guests, with flexible layouts, licensed bars, catering options and audio-visual support. You bring the people. We'll handle the rest.

November and December dates book out early. Enquire now to secure your preferred date before the calendar fills up.
Need something bespoke for VIPs or a smaller team?
Take your leadership team above the water, literally.
Step aboard Manta, the world's first electric hydrofoiling ferry, for a 40-minute private charter across the Waitematā Harbour. Glide above the waves in near silence, with panoramic views of the Auckland skyline, the Harbour Bridge and the Hauraki Gulf and enjoy commentary delivered by our crew.
It's an intimate experience, up to 8 guests per trip, so it suits a leadership team celebration, a client entertainment moment, or a standout addition to a bigger event on the water.
Departing from Viaduct Harbour Marina, destinations for Manta can include Rangitoto Island, Hobsonville Point and Waiheke Island. Talk to our team about adding in your own catering options,
Conferences, launches and client events
Create a brand experience on the water. Whether it is a product launch, client hospitality, an awards night or an offsite conference, our events team will work with you on layout, catering, AV and run sheets so the day runs exactly as planned.
Vessels can be configured for presentations, seated dinners or open networking, and departures from downtown Auckland make it easy for guests to attend straight from the office.
Team days on the Gulf
Get the team out of the office and onto the water. Combine a private cruise with an island stop, a guided walk on Rangitoto or wine tasting on Waiheke. Our team can build a full-day or half-day itinerary around your goals, whether that is a celebration, a connection or simply a well-earned day out.
Not ready for a full charter? Group discounts are available on our scheduled sailings across the Hauraki Gulf, so smaller teams can enjoy a day on the water at a group rate. Ask us about group rates when you enquire
