Overview

Electric boat hire is enormously popular in the rest of the world but ours are the very first electric boats for hire in New Zealand. Our boats are very easy to drive, no experience or license is required. The "Akaroa" boat is the easiest to drive so we recommend that one for complete beginners. We are in the most perfect, sheltered location, the winding Kerikeri river offers a new vista around every bend and is teeming with wildlife. The silent motor allows you to get up close to wildlife without disturbing them. We have a choice of five different boats to suit singles, couple and groups of up to 7 people. We have enough boats for a maximum of 21 people at a time. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Excellent experience

Published on Jan, 2025

We enjoyed an hour trip today. Due to high winds, we boarded at the stone store wharf. The boats are easy to drive. Being electric, the only sound you hear is water movement and the bird life It was an exceptional way to see the Kerikeri inlet Would recommend doing the two hour version.

Great excursion

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent trip and very peaceful being an electric boat. The lead boat was operated by staff so easy to follow behind to guide us where it was best to sail. Will do this again next time we are in Kerikeri

A lovely unique experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was a lovely unique experience! The added bonus was our guide on the 'lead' boat showing us all the local secrets we wouldn't have discovered on our own. We also requested a change on the day to stop somewhere which was no problem at all for him. Would recommend!

Exploring electric style

Published on Oct, 2024

Had a great time being guided by Chris in our quiet electric boat. So peaceful exploring the Kerikeri inlets, even some that weren’t so obvious. Would easily do it again. Highly recommended.

Wonderful

Highly recommended!! A great way to leisurely experience the gorgeous Keri Keri river. A big thanks to Chris and her adorable daughter who had a hand made souvenir for us:)
