Superyacht Attraction Initiatives Deliver $212 Million Economic Boost to New Zealand

On the rare occasions we’ve shared an anchorage with a superyacht, it’s a real glimpse into another world. These vessels are incredible—massive, without question. Our 47ft Jeanneau sloop feels tiny in comparison. Two years ago, we came across a sleek and graceful super sailing yacht at Great Barrier Island, a striking contrast to the large, almost warship-like yacht we encountered at Great Mercury Island. Both were stocked with all sorts of toys, and you can only imagine the level of luxury their owners experience onboard.
