At Windborne Charter, we can accommodate a maximum of 25 people, including an experienced skipper and crew. However, for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience, we recommend a group size of around 18-21 individuals. Our deck is spacious, allowing everyone to spread out, kick back on the comfy cushions, and soak in the breathtaking views.

For our Private Charter day trips, we provide indulgent morning tea on deck with freshly brewed coffee or tea and delightful cookies. However, please note that food and alcoholic drinks are not included on our Private Charter day trips. You have the flexibility to choose between a self-catered picnic-style charter or let us take you on a culinary journey based on your preferences and budget. Feel free to discuss your ideas with us, and we’ll ensure your dining experience meets your expectations.

To ensure you have the best experience on your charter, we recommend bringing a few essentials. Pack your usual outdoor gear, including warm clothing, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun, swimming attire, and towels. If you’re prone to seasickness, it’s a good idea to bring any necessary medication or take it in advance as directed. If you plan on self-catering, don’t forget to bring the utensils and items you’ll need for your food preparation. We’re here to assist you, so feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need assistance.

Yes, you’re more than welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages on board. Please keep in mind that we do not offer alcoholic beverages for purchase, so it’s best to bring your preferred drinks with you.

Absolutely! Weather permitting, we can sail past or even anchor at Cathedral Cove upon your request. Please note that this is subject to weather conditions, and the final decision will be made during the sailing trip. Alternatively, we have numerous enchanting anchorages along the Mercury Islands and Coromandel Coastline, offering remote and picturesque locations to explore.

Absolutely! You’re more than welcome to get hands-on with sailing. Raise the sails, trim the sheets, or even take the helm if you’re feeling adventurous! But if you’d rather relax and enjoy the stunning views of Mercury Bay, no worries. Sit back, unwind, and let our experienced crew handle the sailing. We’re here to ensure you have a fantastic time on board, whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just want to kick back and enjoy the ride.

Absolutely! As it is a private charter, you have the freedom to customise your adventure with us. We can drop anchor at one of the picturesque bays, allowing you to dive into the crystal-clear waters, paddle away on our stand-up paddleboards (SUP), or explore the mesmerising underwater world with our snorkelling equipment. At Windborne Charter, we understand that each occasion is unique, and we take pride in surpassing your expectations by tailoring your voyage to your desires and visions.
