What Experiences Do Silver Wave Offer?

Silver Wave provides private yacht charters, personalised tours and private transfers. These services can be booked individually or combined into one coordinated Northland itinerary.

Where Is Silver Wave Based?

Silver Wave is based at 22 Selwyn Road, Paihia. Central to the Bay of Islands, Northland, New Zealand.

What Areas Does Silver Wave Serve?

Our yacht-charter cruising grounds extend beyond the Bay of Islands along New Zealand's northern coastline from the very top of the North Island, North Cape through to the eastern most point of the North Island, East Cape. Private touring and transfers are available between agreed destinations throughout Northland.

Can We Combine a Tour With a Yacht Charter?

Yes. Silver Wave can coordinate private touring, transport and time on the water as one connected experience.

Are Silver Wave Experiences Private?

Our yacht charters, tours and transfers can be reserved exclusively for your group. Silver Wave may offer special events from time to time on a shared cruise basis.

Can We Customise Our Itinerary?

Yes. Personalisation is central to the Silver Wave experience. Tell us what interests you, how much time you have and who is travelling, and our team will help shape the itinerary.

What Size Groups Can You Accommodate?

Capacity depends on the yacht, vehicle and experience selected. Our yacht fleet offers options for couples, families and larger groups, while touring and transfer capacity will be confirmed during planning.

How Far Ahead Should We Book?

Early booking is recommended for summer, public holidays, weekends and special occasions. Booking ahead also gives our team more time to secure catering, activities and third-party experiences.

How Do We Request a Quote?

Contact Silver Wave with your preferred dates, group size, accommodation and the services you are interested in. Our team will review the details and prepare a personalised proposal.

An amazing sunset cruise... unforgettable

Nga mihi o te tau hou Matariki - thank you to Scott and his team for hosting us aboard the Silver Wave Yacht. An amazing sunset cruise to celebrate Matariki - it really was a take your breath away experience and a very beautiful way for us to celebrate an event that is very close to my heart. Would absolutely recommend for anyone to book in with the Silver Wave team - I guarantee you the experience will be unforgettable. Nga mihi ki a koutou.

Te Tau Hou Māori Sunset Cruise

Very comfortable cabin and leisure area...

An incredible time aboard with Scott and his fantastic crew. A rare find in New Zealand to be on a superior yacht. Very comfortable cabin and leisure area for groups. Cannot recommend enough and can’t wait to come back!

Infinite Horizon Overnight Charter

It was a great time to unwind with our team...

We hired Silver Wave for our studio's staff party and absolutely loved it! It was a great time to unwind with our team and see more of our backyard. We had plenty of space on the front deck to lounge, share a grazing platter, and pop open some bubbles while getting a salty breeze in our hair. 10/10 recommend for a unique experience in the Bay.
