Who We Are
 Latitude Yachting Limited
Latitude Yachting Limited is a privately owned New Zealand company, based in Auckland. Latitude Yachting offers luxury charters catering to the discerning charter market. Auckland’s Haurauki Gulf offers beautiful cruising grounds with many islands and idyllic anchorages to explore. Further a field is a magic coastline all the way North to the Bay of Islands offering cruising in unrivalled natural beauty.
Latitude's South Island operations ar based out of Picton Marina, the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds and extens across the top of the South Island to the golden sands of Tasman Bay. Our fleet of late model sail and power boats are top of the line, profesionally maintained and superbly appointed.
Latitude uses Bénéteau sail boats in their charter fleet, a a brand with production standards and design enhancements to cater for the rigors and demands of a charter vessel. These enhancements cater for simplicity of operation, reduced maintenance, and go a long way to preserving the value of a vessel for its owner during the period of charter work. The success of Latitude’s charter scheme is reflected in their commitment to provide a luxury holiday with excellent service on a beautifully maintained boat. Latitude Fractional Limited A wise friend once told me, “Common sense prevents people from owning Boats”. But it wasn’t until I owned one myself that his wisdom fully sunk in. Few people deny the pleasure of cruising on a luxury boat, but that satisfaction often comes at a tremendous cost in terms of time and money. Today many people are questioning the sensibility of owning expensive boats that sit idle most of year. Research shows that the average boat owner only uses his vessel 30 to 35 days per year, yet he bears the unpleasant burden of 365 days per year of depreciation, insurance, berthage, and maintenance expense. For many boat owners it can be a real boating dilemma. A business has now emerged to address this very problem. Boating enthusiasts now have a viable option available to them which can alleviate the high costs and hassles associated with traditional boat ownership and still afford them considerable amounts of time enjoying their on the water. The alternative is called Fractionali Fractional Ownership. The concept is not new, but in fact has existed for years in the private airplane industry. World renowned investor Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, purchased his first fractional jet in 1995 and three years later bought the company. Now his company is the world’s leading fractional jet company and part of a multi-billion dollar per year industry.
