A Lake Taupō story since 1965
Loloma is more than a charter boat – she is part of Taupō’s history.
Built locally in 1965 from solid steel, Loloma was originally used to tow barges from Kawakawa Bay carrying shingle used to make concrete for the surrounding Taupō area. Her connection with the town even extends to a street at Wharewaka Point bearing the Loloma name.
Today, the 42-foot vessel has a very different job. Loloma has been transformed into a private Lake Taupō charter vessel, taking guests fishing, sightseeing, celebrating and exploring across the lake.
Her generous layout and distinctive design make her particularly well suited to groups, with space for up to 28 guests on day charters while retaining the character that comes from more than six decades on Lake Taupō.
From her working beginnings to today’s private charters, Loloma remains very much a Taupō boat.
