Charter a superyacht in
New Zealand’s last frontier is Southland, where unspoiled marine reserves, snow-capped mountains, and rugged fjords together create one of the superyacht world’s wildest cruising grounds. Through the deep, misty fiords of Fiordland, past monumental waterfalls and ancient forests, into peaceful anchorages where nature is in perfect control, she will chart a course as dramatic and luxurious as it is unprecedented. A yacht charter in Southland is a journey through nature’s most breathtaking landscapes, whether you’re anchored in the remote beauty of Dusky Sound or meeting rare wildlife on Stewart Island. It’s an unforgettable experience that you’re likely to consider a "once-in-a-lifetime" adventure.
Southland ranks among the world’s most stunning and least developed yachting destinations, providing the rare opportunities for deep and narrow fjord cruising, undiscovered wildlife encounters, and unbroken solitude. She will navigate between the hidden bays of the Fiordland National Park, the windswept beauty of Stewart Island, and the glacial rivers of the Southern Alps. With untouched ecosystems, UNESCO-listed landscapes, world-class heli-adventures, and the region’s untouched ecosystems, Southland is a superyacht paradise in high-latitude exploration.

The extremes of nature shape Southland, where the Southern Ocean crashes against the dramatic alpine landscape. She will drop anchor in the two fjords that make up Fiordland National Park. The first, Doubtful Sound, is known for its majestic cliffs and its unspoiled wilderness. The second, Dusky Sound, is one of New Zealand’s most remote and wild anchorages. For individuals looking for adventure, the journey continues to Stewart Island, a rugged paradise that’s home to New Zealand’s largest population of native kiwis, rare penguins, and clean, pristine beaches. Whether you dive in crystal-clear fjord waters, hike in the Catlins, or take a helicopter ride to Milford Sound, you’re guaranteed an unmatched level of natural beauty and exclusivity.
The yachting season in the Southland is from November to April. This is when the weather is mild, the days are long, and the scenery is most vibrant. These months provide ideal conditions for cruising through Fiordland, spotting marine life, and exploring untouched islands. For true wilderness enthusiasts, it’s impossible to beat the experience of yachting in Southland in March and April. The weather is still mild, but there are fewer people around to disturb the peace. The golden autumn foliage adds an extra dash of colour to the landscapes.
A superyacht guarantees complete privacy while allowing one to reach the farthest corners of Southland, providing exquisite luxury in one of the most undisturbed spots on the planet. She will anchor in Preservation Inlet - rarely visited fjord with sheer cliffs, secret waterfalls, and beautiful anchorages. Then she will embark on the final leg of the journey south, to Port Pegasus on Stewart Island, where guests can kayak through mirror-like waters, spot rare seabirds, and relax in complete isolation. No matter what amazing activity you choose, your superyacht will allow you to enjoy Southland, New Zealand, in a way that few get to experience. Whether it’s a heli-skiing adventure in the Southern Alps, a private fishing expedition in the fjords, or an intimate dinner on deck beneath the Southern Cross, Southland offers a superyacht experience unlike any other.
