The luxury catamaran Rua Moana, measuring 88ft (27m), was built by Pachoud in 2020 and operates from Auckland, New Zealand. She features 4 cabins – 1 King, 3 Queen – for 8 guests, with day capacity for 50 and a crew of 5 who know these waters intimately.
Local Cruising from Auckland
Based in Auckland, Rua Moana’s crew knows exactly where to take guests – the best swimming spots, the quietest anchorages, and the waterfront restaurants that visitors rarely find on their own. Twin-hull stability and a shallow draft let her tuck into bays and anchor close to shore where other yachts cannot reach. At 18 knots with a deck jacuzzi, a swim platform, a beach club, a BBQ area, and an outdoor bar and spacious decks, every passage between stops is as enjoyable as the destinations themselves.
Water Toys
10 water toys including a jet ski, two Seabobs, a SUP board, water skis, a wakeboard, a kayak, and surf and kite gear and a 150hp Williams Jet Tender give guests plenty of variety at each stop. The crew manages all equipment and logistics, keeping every transition seamless.
