Step Away to Think Differently 

Take your leadership team beyond the boardroom with a private executive retreat aboard 38 South. 

With complete privacy, premium surroundings and Lake Taupō as the backdrop, 38 South creates a unique setting to talk, think, reconnect and spend valuable time together away from everyday distractions. 

Space for Conversation and Connection 

Some of the best conversations happen when you change the environment. 

Use your time onboard for strategic discussions, leadership planning or simply strengthening relationships within the team. Break up the day with a relaxed lunch, scenic cruising, fishing, swimming or time enjoying the lake. 

There’s no rigid format — the retreat can be shaped around what your team needs from the day. 

Your Private Retreat 

38 South 

Designed for smaller groups of up to 12 guests, 38 South provides generous indoor and outdoor spaces, a fully equipped galley and a private environment ideal for executive teams. 

Settle in, enjoy the lake and let the day unfold at your own pace. 

Shape the Day Around Your Team

Work. Reset. Reconnect. 

Move naturally between productive conversation and downtime. 

Spend the morning talking strategy, stop for lunch, then leave the work behind for an afternoon of fishing, watersports or simply relaxing onboard. It’s a chance to achieve something together without making the entire day feel like another meeting. 

Premium Dining on the Lake 

Make food part of the experience with premium catering aboard 38 South. 

A leisurely lunch or catered dining experience gives the team time to continue conversations around the table or simply switch off and enjoy being on Lake Taupō.
