From January to April 2027, M.Y. Beluga is cruising New Zealand. Choose a single day among Waiheke’s vineyards, a long weekend in the Hauraki Gulf, a dive or spearfishing expedition to the Far North, or two weeks in the fiords of the south, where many anchorages can only be reached by sea or air.

Every itinerary is a starting point. Our team will shape your charter around your group, your dates and the experiences that matter most to you, and our captain sets the route each day to suit the weather and conditions.

BUILT TO GO ANYWHERE
A custom Moonen explorer with a 4,000 nautical mile range and stabilisers that work underway and at anchor, M.Y. Beluga is made for remote coastlines, with five ensuite staterooms waiting at the end of each day.

WHERE ONLY BOATS AND HELICOPTERS GO
In Fiordland, waterfalls pour down sheer rock walls, dolphins ride the bow and many anchorages can only be reached by sea or air. M.Y. Beluga takes you there, with helicopter transfers from Queenstown.

WORLD-CLASS UNDERWATER
Dive the Poor Knights Islands, regarded as one of the world’s best dive sites, the remote pinnacles of the Three Kings, and black coral at recreational depth in the fiords. Beluga carries 10 scuba sets and 12 snorkeling sets.

THE BEST OF THE LAND
Lunch among Waiheke’s vineyards, play a round at Kauri Cliffs, walk the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, or take a helicopter to a glacier, an alpine picnic or a par 3 at 4,500 feet.

Good to know

When:
January to April 2027, during the New Zealand summer.

Where you join:
Hauraki Gulf, Northland and Three Kings voyages depart from and return to Auckland’s Viaduct. Fiordland voyages begin with a scenic helicopter flight from Queenstown. The Stewart Island voyage ends in Oban, with a flight to Invercargill or a private charter to Queenstown.

Made for you:
Every itinerary can be customised, including the number of nights and the places you visit. Our captain adjusts the route for weather, sea conditions and local regulations.

What’s extra:
Activities ashore, helicopter excursions, guides, flights and accommodation off the vessel are arranged on request at an additional cost.

Protecting special places:
New Zealand’s marine reserves are among its treasures. The Poor Knights is a no-take marine reserve, and Fiordland has its own fishing rules, which we follow on every charter.
