Step aboard Tiua (Maori for ride the wind) and cruise the fresh clear waters of Lake Rotoiti in pure luxury.
Kick back in total relaxation or get involved for a more action packed experience.
You'll have the opportunity to take the helm, hoist the sails and grind the winches or try your luck with some trout fishing. Keen to cool off and get wet? Then leap off and swim from the yacht in the fresh clean water of Lake Rotoiti or relax in the natural mineral hot pools only accessible by boat.
If pure relaxation is what you're craving, then sit back and let the crew set sail while you chill out and indulge in a premium New Zealand beverage from the bar while the scenery quietly passes by under the power of the wind - this is the life!
Your knowledgeable skipper and crew will take the time to point out the historic and culturally significant features of Lake Rotoiti as well as share a few of the local Maori legends.
Tiua has a broad spacious deck with beanbags and bow-nets so you can spread out and relax in style. The luxurious saloon and cockpit provide comfort and shelter to cruise fish and soak whatever the weather.
