Raglan Boat Charters

  • The Wahinemoe at sunset.
  • The Wahinemoe exploring our beautiful Whaingaroa (Raglan) Harbour.
  • TokaToka point, sacred Maori location, the place to stop and pray in Maori.
  • Raglan Wharf. Today the fish and ship building has been taken over by galleries and cafe. However the Fresh Raglan fish is delivered direct to the boat for you to enjoy while touring.
  • The upper harbour is a mix of farm grazing land and forest conservation areas. We generally see marine birds, stingrays and cows, however we are occasionally get lucky and the tide and weather allow us rare opportunities to see Orca feeding on the stingrays and Spoonbills nesting after migration.
  • There is plenty of room to move around and take pictures, mostly just sit and relax.
  • Upstairs on Wahinemoe is the Raglan Bar and the best viewpoint for the sunset. We are blessed with geography where sun sets across the Tasman sea and is perfectly aligned with the harbour mouth where stay in the safe confines of the calmer waters.

Raglan is an historic fishing village that morphed into a surfing mecca in the 60s & in the 2000s grew in its art, music and food culture. Best viewed from the water the Boat Wahinemoe (sleeping lady) has been serving tourists for 12 years.

Raglan Boat Charters is located at the Raglan Wharf on Whaingaroa Harbour, the West Coast of New Zealand's North Island, 40 km's from Hamilton and approx 150kms from Auckland, Tauranga and Rotorua.
