Kindred Spirit

Sail Lake Taupo on a Yacht or a Luxury Catamaran

Enjoy a restful and relaxing cruise on Lake Taupo at your own pace. We offer the flexibility and customisation that you’d expect and we can fit your needs for any private yacht charter boat to suit you and your group. Host a fun-filled party aboard the graceful Kindred Spirit or charter our luxurious catamaran Tiua for all-weather entertaining.

What Can You Expect With a Private Yacht Charter?

Charters can be very relaxed and calm, spent lazing on the deck in our beanbags with a glass of sparkling wine. They can also be full of fun, with vibrant music and a swim in Great Lake Taupo’s crystal-clear waters. There are days where the wind in the sails can get the adrenaline pumping, too. We have a music dock with a good repertoire in-house and of course, we can load your playlist as well.

If you’re up for some adventure, you can join the crew and steer the ship. But if you prefer a more relaxed experience, you can lounge on the deck with a refreshing drink. Either way, it’s a fun activity for everyone.

Perfect For Special Events & Parties

We welcome events of all types, hosting parties on the water is a pleasure and a privilege for us. We’ve hosted weddings, birthdays (of all ages), family events and sightseeing tours. Take a trip with us for your special day as we tour the Māori Rock Carvings, or simply enjoy a scenic sailing tour around Lake Taupo. Our special private boat charters let you enjoy an environmentally friendly Taupo sailing experience in beautiful surroundings. With so much to offer, Taupo Sailing Adventures provide the ultimate way to spend that special day.

We pay attention to the details to make your private yacht charter a memorable adventure and deliver exactly your ideal experience. The possibilities are endless.

The crew had lots of interesting information for us about the carvings and also about lots of other topics regarding the lake and its surroundings.

The sail out to the rock carving was lovely, chance to go for a swim in the lake, if your brave enough. Complimentary hot drinks and ginger nut bikkies on board, with the option to purchase other beverages, including alcohol and some snacks available to buy as well. Fantastic trip.

We got up close to the carvings and the crew were able to not only tell us about the carvings themselves but also about the lake and their origins.

It was perfectly sunny with no wind & the boat was gorgeous, I wish I owned one like it!! Danny & Liam were great hosts & Danny was very knowledgeable when telling us about the Maori carvings etc. Swimming in Lake Taupō was really lovely, even though it was cold but I'm so glad I made myself get into the water! I really enjoyed the complimentary glass of wine too & the whole tour was definitely a 10 out of 10! I'd highly recommend going on this tour with this company ????????????

We went as a whole family and loved every minute. The kids got to help raise the sail and even steer the boat. Probably the highlight was the swimming stop. We had the BEST time jumping off the boat into the crystal clear water of lake taupo. I definitely recommend this tour and company.

A few people did go swimming even though the water was pretty chilly. Enjoyed the pizza and we were glad for the provided blankets after the sun went down as it got a little cold on the way back.
