Take a private charter day trip around the Bay of Islands.

Choose from the 144 islands that make up the Bay of Islands in a day trip that will take you over stunning waters and into sheltered coves. Taking off from Paihia or your chosen pickup location, we'll take you out for an island adventure or a chance to explore the ocean, with snorkelling, fishing, and paddleboarding options. Or, if you simply want to relax and take in the view, we know all the best (and quietest) spots for a supreme day trip. For an unforgettable day out, taken at your leisure, book one of our private charters.

An amazing sunset cruise... unforgettable

Nga mihi o te tau hou Matariki - thank you to Scott and his team for hosting us aboard the Silver Wave Yacht. An amazing sunset cruise to celebrate Matariki - it really was a take your breath away experience and a very beautiful way for us to celebrate an event that is very close to my heart. Would absolutely recommend for anyone to book in with the Silver Wave team - I guarantee you the experience will be unforgettable. Nga mihi ki a koutou.

Very comfortable cabin and leisure area...

An incredible time aboard with Scott and his fantastic crew. A rare find in New Zealand to be on a superior yacht. Very comfortable cabin and leisure area for groups. Cannot recommend enough and can’t wait to come back!

It was a great time to unwind with our team...

We hired Silver Wave for our studio's staff party and absolutely loved it! It was a great time to unwind with our team and see more of our backyard. We had plenty of space on the front deck to lounge, share a grazing platter, and pop open some bubbles while getting a salty breeze in our hair. 10/10 recommend for a unique experience in the Bay.
