Experience Lake Taupō at Your Own Pace 

Step aboard 38 South for a private Lake Taupō escape where the day is entirely yours. 

Cruise beyond the shoreline, settle in with premium food and drinks, find somewhere to swim or simply enjoy having the time and space to experience the lake without a schedule. 

A Different Kind of Luxury 

Luxury on 38 South isn’t about formality. It’s about privacy, freedom and having Lake Taupō to yourself for a while. 

There’s no fixed itinerary and no need to rush from one activity to the next. Spend the day cruising, dining, fishing, swimming or stopping wherever the conditions and the moment take you. 

Your Private Escape 

38 South 

Designed for smaller groups of up to 12 guests, 38 South combines generous indoor and outdoor spaces with the freedom of a private charter. 

It’s an ideal choice for couples, families and friends wanting to experience Lake Taupō in comfort and away from the crowds. 

Spend the Day Your Way 

Your luxury escape can incorporate: 

• Private cruising across Lake Taupō 

• Premium onboard catering 

• Lunch and drinks on the water 

• Secluded swimming stops 

• Fishing 

• Scenic cruising 

• Fliteboarding and jet skiing 

• Sunset on the lake 

• Half-day or full-day charters 

• A personalised itinerary 

Go Beyond the Usual Taupō Experience 

See more of the lake than you can from the shoreline. 

A private charter gives you the freedom to explore at a slower pace, linger somewhere beautiful, change plans along the way or simply find a quiet part of Lake Taupō and enjoy being there. 

Food Worth Staying Onboard For 

Add premium catering to your charter and make dining part of the day rather than a reason to return to shore. 

Enjoy lunch with a view, drinks in the afternoon or build your time onboard around a longer dining experience.
