An Introduction To Our Fleet
Our fleet is designed to showcase the very best of luxury sailing in New Zealand. With two exceptional catamarans, Serenity and Cool Change, we offer the freedom to experience the Bay of Islands and beyond in comfort and style.
Each yacht has its own personality, but both are united by the same Silver Wave philosophy: a focus on spacious living, world-class service, and the ability to transform time at sea into something unforgettable. Whether you’re stepping aboard for a day charter or a multi-day escape, our yachts provide the perfect platform for discovery, relaxation, and celebration.
What Unites Our Yachts
While each yacht has unique features, the experience you’ll enjoy across our fleet is consistently elevated. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll be welcomed into an atmosphere that blends refined comfort with effortless adventure. Elegant interiors, expansive deck spaces, and modern amenities create a seamless balance of luxury and functionality.
At the heart of it all are our captains and chefs, who bring passion, professionalism, and an eye for detail to every charter. Gourmet dining, carefully curated itineraries, and attentive service are not add-ons — they are our standard. This is what makes a Silver Wave charter stand apart from an ordinary yacht hire.
A CHARTER FOR EVERY OCCASION
Our yachts are more than just a way to see the Bay of Islands — they are the perfect stage for life’s moments. From intimate getaways and family adventures to milestone birthdays, weddings, and corporate gatherings, we create settings that make memories last.
Each charter is tailored to reflect your occasion. A relaxed day of swimming and paddleboarding, a fine-dining evening under the stars, or a multi-day voyage to secluded anchorages — our team works with you to shape the experience around your vision. Whatever you’re celebrating or seeking, our yachts adapt to provide an atmosphere that feels entirely yours.
Choose Your Journey
Each yacht in our fleet has a story to tell. Serenity is a beautiful blend of relaxed elegance and contemporary design, while Cool Change offers expansive space and the thrill of adventure for those seeking something bold and dynamic.
We invite you to explore each yacht in more detail on their dedicated pages, where you’ll discover what makes them unique. Whichever you choose, both Serenity and Cool Change carry the same Silver Wave promise: a charter experience that is unforgettable, crafted just for you, and perfectly attuned to the stunning cruising grounds of the Bay of Islands.

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.
