 We normally book vessels a minimum of two weeks in advance, (but in order to get your preferred dates and vessels we advise getting in a lot earlier ... demand is already strong for the 2018 season! 

Rules are made to be broken! We will happily consider shorter notice charters and shorter duration charters depending on operational demands at the time, but these may carry a surcharge.

All rates above include a $30 per day Consumables fee which covers consumable stores and incidentals, including LPG and Outboard fuel, but excludes diesel fuel. 

These are the Charterer’s responsibility, and normally Charterers clean and tidy the boat to a basic standard and fuel her when they return. If you prefer that we do these things, it can be charged to the bond.  

Our vessels are based at Bayswater, Auckland, in the heart of the Hauraki Gulf.  The Gulf abounds with beautiful islands, snug anchorages, great open water sails, marine life and great scenery!

If you want to cruise the coast from Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf to the Bay of Islands, as long as the total duration of your charter is ten days or more we can arrange a one-way charter for you.   Charters to the Bay of Islands finish at Opua Marina, which is about 10 minutes by car from the tourist town of Paihia..   A drop off in Opua incurs a repositioning fee equivalent to two days’ charter, and includes a one-night marina berth in Opua.

• For charters of 5 days or more, Linen/ Towels are complimentary. For shorter charters, they are available for $20 per set
• Charterlink can provide a qualified skipper for $575 per day plus meals.
• We can hire you fishing gear or snorkeling gear

A deposit of 25% of the total charter fee is required within 7 days of booking to confirm your charter.  Payment in full is required 60 days prior to charter commencement date.

 Cancellations by You:  Cancellations made prior to 60 days before the commencement of charter will result in a refund of deposit less a NZ$150 administration fee. Cancellations made less than 60 days from the commencement of charter will result in a refund, (less the admin fee,) ONLY if a substitute charter can be booked.

 Cancellations by Us: The Charter contract details our policies in the event that we are forced to cancel charters, for reasons such as dangerous weather conditions or vessel damage. We recommend that you consider insuring against such events.

A security and damage bond is required by our insurers for all charters.  Bonds vary from $2500 to $5000 depending on the boat’s insurance excess. (In most situations, the vessel has insurance to cover loss or damage in excess of the bond value, but there are some circumstances under which the Charterer may be liable beyond the value of the Bond, as listed in the Charter Agreement.) The bond is fully refundable after your charter, less deductions for any loss or damage, when boat checks have been completed.  We normally reserve this as an authorized amount against a credit card prior to sailing.  Please complete and return the bond payment form included with your booking forms.

Normally charters commence and end between 0900 and 1600 hours, Monday – Sunday But we’re flexible as long as you prearrange things with us.

An extensive briefing will be given on your vessel, including navigation, anchoring, safety and practical boat handling tips.  The brief will also include information on anchorages and points of interest within your preferred cruising ground. Briefings can be held in advance of your charter commencement by mutual agreement.

As a bareboat skipper, you have significant safety responsibilities for the operation of the vessel, and for that reason our general requirement is that whilst no specific certification is required, prospective skippers must have significant experience in charge of vessels of the type being chartered.  We care deeply about your safety. The yachts undergo regular extensive checks before you board, and are proudly subject to conditions laid down by Maritime NZ, our government regulatory authority.
