Step aboard a comfortable catamaran and let Abel Tasman Charters welcome you into a world of azure waters, golden beaches, and native forest fringes. Your day unfolds at a relaxed pace—whether you’re kayaking beside playful seals, exploring hidden coves, or simply soaking in the coastal serenity, every moment is designed for connection and calm.
This locally run touring company specializes in small-group and private charters through New Zealand’s iconic Abel Tasman National Park. What sets them apart is the bespoke nature of each journey: choose from half‑day cruises to multi‑day floating escapes, enjoy optional helicopter add‑ons or winery stops, and design your day exactly how you envision it—uncrowded, intimate, and beautifully authentic.
