If the weather is warm, we can include a swimming option at no extra cost.

We’re happy to customize trips based on your needs.

Typical price for a 2.5 – 3 hours charter is $60 per person with a minimum of 8 passengers. If you would like to charter for less people, please contact us directly for a quote.


BBQs start at $40 per person, including salads and grilled vegetables. Dessert, coffee, and tea can be added. More gourmet options (Akaroa salmon, fillet mignon, paella) are also available.

We have options for every budget and appetite (only starters for example), and can cater to any special dietary needs; ask us about our menu !

During the high season, we prefer to offer private cruises after hours. It is best if your trip can start after 5pm.
There is plenty of daylight until 9pm, and you can enjoy the harbour during the sunset.

We are available for private cruises :

  • Lyttleton, from November 1st till December 17th.
  • Akaroa from December 20th till May 1st.
