Take Your Lake Taupō Adventure Up a Gear 

Experience Lake Taupō beyond the boat with a private watersports charter aboard 38 South. Cruise across the lake, find the perfect spot to stop, then get out on the water with the Fliteboard, jet skis and swimming. 

With 38 South as your base for the day, you can combine time on the water with premium cruising, great food and plenty of space to relax between the action. 

Your Playground on Lake Taupō 

A watersports charter is all about making the most of the lake. Spend time cruising aboard 38 South before swapping the deck for the water and adding as much action to your day as you like. 

Try the Fliteboard, head out on a jet ski or simply jump in for a swim. When it’s time for a break, return to 38 South for refreshments, food and time to relax before heading back out again. 

Make watersports the focus of your charter or combine them with sightseeing, fishing and dining for a full Lake Taupō experience shaped around your group. 

Your Vessel

Premium Cruising Meets Adventure

Her swim platform makes getting on and off the water easy, while the onboard spaces give everyone somewhere to relax, eat and enjoy the lake between activities.
