Occassion

Romantic Experiences

Just the Two of You 

Escape onto Lake Taupō aboard 38 South for a private experience designed around time together. 

Cruise somewhere beautiful, open a bottle, enjoy premium catering onboard or watch the sun go down over the lake. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want to get away together, 38 South gives you the privacy to make the occasion your own. 

Make an Occasion of It 

Anniversary, proposal, or a surprise just because — sometimes dinner at a restaurant doesn’t quite go far enough. 

Spend a few hours exploring Lake Taupō, stop somewhere secluded, enjoy drinks and food onboard, or plan your charter around sunset.
