PRIVATE CHARTERS
Private Charters are available in either Fiordland or Stewart Island.
With Cruise Fiordland there is no specific day to day schedule on what you must do. We only take a maximum of 10 people on each Private Charter. Private charters can be aimed at a specific interest or even better a mixture of things. Anything from hunting, diving, fishing, sight seeing, kayaking, going ashore exploring, learning the history or just cruising. We take what you as a group are interested in and do our best to give you the experience of a lifetime.

Fishing
We are a registered Amateur-Fishing Charter Vessel Operator with the Ministry for Primary Industries and hold Environment Southland resource consent to operate in the Fiordland Marine Area. We are passionate about protecting our children's ability to fish, for generations to come. The taking of sea-life as well as being within the fisheries regulations, will only be taken to supplement meals for passengers whilst aboard the Cindy Hardy or to be taken home. The amount of fish taken for this purpose, methods used, and the locations fished, is solely at the skipper's discretion.
