About Raglan Boat Charters
Raglan Boat Charters runs harbour cruises and private charters from Raglan Wharf aboard the Wahinemoe, a purpose-built 15-metre by 5-metre two-storey catamaran delivered in 2010 with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Departing from the historic wharf on Wallis Street, it is the flagship way to experience the vast, sheltered Whaingaroa Harbour from the water.
Their scheduled offerings include daily lunchtime nature cruises and summertime sunset cruises, both narrated and typically around 90 minutes, with music, a licensed bar selling wine and beer, and famous fresh fish and chips from Raglan Fish available onboard. For groups they run private boat charters and party boats accommodating up to 70 people, ideal for weddings, functions and corporate events, and gift cards are available for those wanting to give the experience.
Holding Qualmark certification for sustainable tourism, the operator pairs a spacious, weather-protected vessel with local knowledge of the harbour's wildlife, tides and shoreline. The easygoing narrated cruises suit families and all ages, making Raglan Boat Charters a relaxed, scenic complement to the town's more adrenaline-focused adventures.
