Harbour Cruises

Party boat & harbour cruise charters (10 – 40 pax)

Cruise the stunning Waitemata Harbour for your next party, work function or family celebration aboard MV Koru.

Time to reward your colleagues with a team-bonding day out on Auckland's Hauraki Gulf? Or a special family celebration coming up and you need a unique event or location?

With the incredible backdrop of the inner islands of the Hauraki Gulf, book your event on MV Koru with Ultimate Charters. She is perfectly set-up for your large group with ample space on the upper and lower decks, providing guests with a great view of the stunning scenery. Throw in the large BBQ, practical kitchen space, great sound system and our friendly crew, and you have the makings of a highly enjoyable and memorable afternoon out on the water.
