What to Expect

Escape the hectic life and enjoy your sailing experience in comfort and style with Kindred Spirit, the largest charter yacht on Lake Taupo. Built in 1976 by Alan Orams in Whangarei, Kindred Spirit features an L. Francis Herreshoff design, a cutter rigged sloop and a full keel, giving the boat less draft and a wider beam. Cruise in superior comfort with a large deck space and a lounge under the main deck seating up to 12 people. We have a fridge and freezer aboard, as well as a high quality sound system. The boat is fully equipped for safety and enjoyment.

Listen to our experienced skippers and learn about the history of the lake.
