Charters & Groups

Need a Boat? Let’s Make It Happen.
Chartering a SeaLink vessel is a flexible (and fun!) way to get where you need to go, or celebrate something special along the way. Whether it’s a private party, a school adventure, a corporate getaway, or just moving something big and bulky, we’ve got the right vessel and crew for the job.
Throwing a wedding on Waiheke? Planning a big group day out? Shifting heavy gear or even livestock? No worries, we’ve done it all. Our experienced team knows the ropes and can help you plan a smooth trip from start to finish.
From fast ferries to freight-friendly vessels, most of our fleet is up for hire. We can reach plenty of spots across the Hauraki Gulf, just tell us what you need and we’ll make it work.
Just fill in a few details in our Charter Enquiry form and we will get back to you. 

Corporates

If you are planning a corporate event, a team building day or a club event you have come to the right place. When booking groups of 10 or more to either Waiheke or Great Barrier Island we offer a group discount. Our aim is to make your job as organiser as stress free as possible. We can cater to large corporate groups on our vehicle ferries, which means you can take your transport with you once you are on the island. Or our smaller fast ferries can provide access to several wharves around the islands. Just contact us for more information.

Weddings

Weddings can be stressful. We want to make booking your wedding transport as stress free as possible and passenger charters are often an economical alternative to scheduled ferry sailings, and provide the flexibility to control not only the destination but also the arrival and departure times of your wedding guests. You will feel comfortable knowing your guests will get safely to or from the wedding, and of course, on time!

Special Events

Got something a little out of the ordinary? Can’t hurt to ask if it is doable. We like to come up with solutions rather than say no. Each one of our vessels is unique, so one of them might suit your needs. Get in touch with us and let us see what we can do!

School groups

If you have a school group and are thinking about travelling to Motutapu Island for camp, then we can help. We are well versed in providing these services and have a great relationship with DOC and the camp on the island. Heading somewhere else? No worries, reach out and we can provide options.

Moving a house or yacht

Moving a house or a yacht with SeaLink is a seamless and professional process. Our experienced team can provide expert logistics support, ensuring safe and efficient delivery from departure to destination. Whether relocating to Waiheke, Great Barrier Island, or the mainland, SeaLink offers reliable solutions.

Heavy equipment and vehicles

Heavy equipment such as roading vehicles will need to travel on either Sea Quest or Seabridge ferries as they have wide open decks. Steel tracked vehicles (diggers, bulldozers, excavators etc) must travel on a trailer, as steel tracked vehicles are not permitted on the decks of any of the SeaLink ferries.

Livestock

SeaLink provides safe, efficient transport solutions for moving livestock across the Hauraki Gulf. Our vessels are equipped to handle a range of animals, and our experienced crew ensures the welfare of livestock throughout the journey. Whether you're transporting cattle, sheep, or other animals to or from Waiheke or Great Barrier Island, SeaLink offers reliable, professional service tailored to the needs of farmers and agricultural businesses. Your livestock is in capable hands.

Groups

If you’re heading to Waiheke or Great Barrier Island with 10 or more people and booking together, we offer discounted fares, 15% off to Waiheke, and 10% off to Great Barrier. For bigger groups or special events, a private charter might be the best (and sometimes cheapest) way to go. We’re here to take the hassle out of planning. Call our team on (09) 300 5900 to chat through the options.
