"We chose the 8-hour charter and paid extra for a catered seafood lunch, which was delicious. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and a great crew to ensure a very relaxing day on the water. Everyone in the family agreed that this was one of our favorite memories from our first visit to Auckland. We will be back and hope to sail on Arcturus with Bruce again!"

"It was a great day sailing to Waiheke from Auckland with Bruce and Max. A beautiful boat, amazing views and passionate crew who shared their knowledge about sailing and made it a really interesting experience. Would definitely do it again! "

"If you do nothing else on the North Island of New Zealand, treat yourself to a sunset sail aboard the staysail schooner Arcturus, a fine old yacht once owned by General George Patton and lovingly restored by Captain Bruce Robertson Dunlop."

"We spent our first day in Auckland sailing Arcturus; a perfect way to enjoy our first day in NZ. The crew, Captain Bruce and Max, was extremely competent, friendly and willing to discuss / educate our family on sailing a classic beautifully restored 1930 Alden sloop. A fun time was had by all. Bring layered clothing and waterproofs for inclement weather and enjoy what ever nature brings."

What’s a rich text element.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Rua Moana Vessel Details

An obsession with perfection

Rua Moana was designed and built by a team driven to create an extraordinary vessel – a perfect expression of their exacting craft. Rua Moana is a true superyacht that will create a deep impression on even the most discerning connoisseur. We guarantee that your expectations will be exceeded and you will feel completely at home aboard Rua Moana. If perfection in every detail is what you demand, then Rua Moana will satisfy you perfectly.

Exterior design

Rua Moana is a study in pure elegance.

The fluid lines of its catamaran hull design and computerised ride control systems maximise comfort and fuel efficiency, and at the same time minimise wake disturbance to the delicate coastal ecosystems of our cruising waters. There are generously proportioned outdoor areas, which include a submersible beach platform at the stern, and a large spa pool on the foredeck. While the flying bridge provides a lofty platform from which to take in the spectacular natural panorama of our cruising waters.

Interior design

Even the most minute aspect of Rua Moana’s interior has benefitted from fastidious attention to detail and devotion to effortless luxury. Décor is streamlined and clutter-free, producing a feeling of light and space. Hard surfaces are smooth and sleek, and soft furnishings are lush and inviting. There is room to be social and space for privacy, without compromising either one. There are four guest cabins, each with a Queen size bed and its own ensuite bathroom. Deep 100% wool New Zealand carpets soften footsteps and minimise sound to enhance the profound sense of peace and wellbeing that embraces you as soon as you step aboard Rua Moana. A chefs galley, indoor and outdoor dining areas, main saloon, media room, and wine lounge complete the main floor with a state-of-the-art flying bridge and large outside deck located upstairs.

Environmentally conscious, energy-efficient thinking is evident throughout. You can discover more about this aspect of Rua Moana’s design and construction here

Experience absolute privilege in downtown Auckland

The Viaduct Basin is ideally located on the shore of the vibrant CBD.

From your base at Rua Moana’s private mooring, you can relax, sightsee and entertain in effortless luxury. To complete the peerless experience of a stay aboard Rua Moana we can arrange for a personal chef, concierge, and driver to be at your disposal 24/7.

A coastal cruise like no other

The waters of the Hauraki Gulf and the islands off the Auckland region’s east coast create some of the world’s finest cruising waters. Shelter is always nearby, but the freedom of the South Pacific is within easy reach. Nowhere else in the world gives you so much variety, all within a few effortless hours of our home mooring in the heart of Auckland City.

The Hauraki Gulf is host to an abundance of picturesque islands large and small. Exquisite golden sand beaches are plentiful, many of which are completely deserted – just like those in your favourite childhood stories.

A short ocean voyage will bring you to the stunning Mercury group to the south, while further north there is world-class diving in the crystal clear waters of the Poor Knights Islands marine reserve and the Bay of Islands. In between, countless other islands and coves add a true element of romance and adventure to your luxury cruise aboard Rua Moana.

Visits to spectacularly located Golf courses, wineries and restaurants are easily arranged.
