Missionhills, Bay of Islands
Board the 72ft luxury motor yacht, Missionhills for tailor-made cruising in marine luxury from New Zealand’s iconic Bay of Islands. Choose a scenic day or half-day cruise to one of the world’s most private islands, escape for an overnight adventure to one of the bay’s 144 islands, or plan a longer cruise to see the unbelievable sights of New Zealand coastal waters. Your Missonhills cruise could include diving, fishing or snorkelling to watch local marine life; but you might just anchor in an unspoiled bay to enjoy a magnificent, sunset dinner. All charters include hire of the vessel, qualified skipper, chef and deckhands, plus use of tenders, water toys and kayaks. Missionhills cruises happily host from two to 36 guests according to your planned itinerary.
