Sheltered anchorages abound International Marine Brokers New Zealand www.internationalmarine.co.nz
As a holiday for all the family, it’s hard to beat - snorkelling, diving, fishing, swimming, sun-bathing, dolphin watching, exploring the sea shore - walking, visiting historic sites, beach games and BBQs etc all from your very own self contained, self sufficient accommodation and mode of transport – a Bavaria Cruising Yacht.

Charter a Bavaria Cruising Yacht from CharterLink and enjoy all of the above in one of the finest cruising grounds in the world.

CharterLink is one of the largest bareboat charter companies in New Zealand and is ideally sited in Bayswater Marina, on Auckland’s vast natural harbour, within easy reach of downtown and the great sailing playgrounds of the Hauraki Gulf.



Pick up your Bavaria yacht from Bayswater Marina and steer out into the fabulous sheltered waters and tranquil bays of the Hauraki Gulf – you won’t be disappointed. Explore the coast line of Waiheke Island with its vineyards, anchor at Kawau Island and go ashore to visit the beautiful 19th century mansion house, find your ‘own’ unspoilt sandy beach on one of the multitude of islands or throw a line over the side and catch your supper! Whatever you do, you’ll enjoy the view from the deck of our easy to handle Bavaria with all the comforts you need down below for you and your family / friends.

CharterLink currently have six Bavaria models to choose from ranging in size from 30 to 46ft – depending on your level of experience and the size of your party. The proof of their popularity as a charter yacht is evident in the many thousands of Bavarias found in charter fleets worldwide.

They also has the knowledge to help you come up with a winning itinerary, even if you have only 2 or 3 days of holiday! For the more adventurous with time on their hands, there’s the freedom to sail north up the coast from Auckland to the Bay of Islands, or if your schedule dictates - pick up your boat in the Bay and sail south.

Whatever your dreams, feel free to contact the friendly team at CharterLink for more information.

After taking out every one of CharterLink’s Bavarias - read what this happy charterer has to say:

'Thank you Rob for yet another outstanding charter! I have been chartering yachts in Tonga, Australia and here in New Zealand now for over 16 years and the service that you provide at CharterLink is exemplary. The boat and equipment is very professionally presented and allows for hassle free sailing every time. I often bring inexperienced crew with me and I do so with confidence when chartering from you. Coming from a professional maritime background, I have a keen eye for the finer detail and I must congratulate you on the presentation of your fleet. On a par, is the high level of flexibility, willingness and integrity that you display when arranging a charter. It all makes for a fantastic experience every time. I look forward to many more great sailing expeditions and holidays with CharterLink. Thank you.'

And another one:
'... thanks very much for the opportunity, we had a fantastic trip, on an excellent boat (probably the best equipped charter boat I have ever been on), and found CharterLink to be very professional and efficient. I would certainly not hesitate to do it again, and recommend you to anyone interested.'
