Indian Summer Motor Yacht

Based in Marlborough, New Zealand, the 59ft (18m) motor yacht Indian Summer was built in 2012 by Fairline. She offers 3 cabins – 1 Double and 1 Twin – for up to 6 guests, with a crew of 2 who know these waters inside out.

Local Expertise

What sets Indian Summer apart is her crew’s deep familiarity with New Zealand. They know the best anchorages, the hidden restaurants, and the quietest swimming spots that most visitors never find. Guests enjoy a swim platform alongside a daily rhythm shaped entirely by local knowledge and the group’s interests. At 11 knots, the best of New Zealand is always within easy reach, and the crew adapts each day’s plan around conditions and preferences.

Water Sports

8 water toys including a jet ski, a SUP board, water skis, a kayak, and towable inflatables are on board. The Avon 30hp Yamaha connects guests to beaches, villages, and snorkeling sites across the area. All equipment is managed by the crew so guests stay focused on enjoying each stop.

Charter from Marlborough

Operating year-round from Marlborough, Indian Summer covers the finest cruising grounds in South Pacific. The best months to charter are Jan, Feb, Dec, when conditions are ideal. The captain tailors each route around the group’s preferences, offering the kind of insider itinerary that only a locally based yacht can provide.
