The Experience
What to expect.
Not every experience fits neatly into a category. Perhaps you're planning a sunset cruise for a special occasion, a corporate team day on the water, a multi-generational family gathering, or a multi-day adventure across the Bay. Whatever your vision, we'll work with you to design an itinerary that delivers exactly what you're after.
Custom charters can include catering from Russell's best restaurants, premium beverages, guided snorkelling or diving, photography services, or simply a completely open day on the water with no agenda at all. We'll coordinate everything.
Pricing for custom charters is based on duration, group size, and any additional services. Get in touch and we'll provide a tailored quote within 24 hours.

Common Questions
How far in advance should I book a custom charter?
We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance for custom charters. We operate from 1 November through 31 March, and the December–January period fills quickly. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible — contact us to check availability.
Can you organise catering from Russell?
Yes. We work with several Russell restaurants and caterers to provide everything from simple picnic lunches to full multi-course meals served on board.
Do you offer multi-day charters?
We can arrange multi-day itineraries in partnership with accommodation providers in the Bay. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
