Generation 5 – Our Auckland Charter Yacht

Launched in 1995 'Generation 5' is a 11.3 metre long (37 feet) Jeanneau Sun Fast 36, designed in France and built in Australia. A Jeanneau was chosen as an internationally recognised and high quality charter yacht.

The yacht is very well designed for safe sailing so everything is controlled from the cockpit. Wheel steering and clever design make sailing a keelboat as simple and as comfortable to sail as it's ever going to get.

About Auckland

Auckland's amazing geography and warm, humid climate has inspired a lifestyle that's regularly ranked in the world's top ten.

In just half an hour you can be almost anywhere: sailing to an island, trekking through the rainforest, picnicking on a volcano, sampling wines at a vineyard or wandering a wild, black sand surf beach.

For an island escape, choose between Waiheke, Motuihe, Rangitoto, or journey a little further to Tiri Tiri Matangi, Kawau or Great Barrier. Each island has a different character and different things to do.

Take your hiking boots or a good book and beach towel you can be as active, or as inactive, as you like.

Auckland does the urban side of life just as well as it does adventure. America's Cup activity has added an infusion of exciting new restaurants and bars.
