Looking to take your end-of-year celebration to the next level? Forget the standard bar tab or tired restaurant function — a Christmas party on a private yacht delivers something truly memorable.
Whether you’re thanking your team, hosting clients, or just gathering friends, a yacht cruise in Auckland’s harbour offers fresh air, festive vibes, and unbeatable views. Here’s how to plan it right.
🎄 Why Choose a Yacht for Your Christmas Party?
It’s exclusive – The entire yacht is yours, with no strangers, no interruptions.
It’s festive – Music, food, drinks, and sea breeze set the perfect holiday mood.
It’s flexible – Choose your catering, BYO options, timing, and route.
It’s impressive – Celebrate in style and leave a lasting impression.
A yacht charter says “thank you” in the most elegant, unforgettable way possible.
🧑🎄 What’s Included in a Templar Christmas Cruise?
Your private end-of-year party will include:
🛥️ Full private use of the yacht
🧑✈️ Professional crew and skipper
🥂 BYO drinks welcome (or ask about catering partners)
🎶 Bluetooth sound system for your Christmas playlist
🪑 Lounge seating, covered and open-air space
🚻 Toilet, fridge, kitchen and service essentials
📍 Departure from Auckland CBD Viaduct for easy access
We can also help with decorations, grazing platters, music, and even a visit from Santa if you want to go all out.
⏰ When Should You Book?
End-of-year events fill fast — especially on Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends in November and December.
We recommend:
Booking 2–3 months in advance (so, August–October)
Choosing midweek dates for better availability
Considering a daytime cruise if evenings are booked
We can also run moored events (dockside functions) if you want the yacht atmosphere without going out on the water.
🎁 Great for Any Group Size or Style
🧑💼 Corporate teams (from 5 to 30+ staff)
🎉 Small business end-of-year parties
🧑🤝🧑 Friends and family groups
🥂 VIP client functions
Templar’s layout is perfect for both mingling and seated dining — and we’ll help you tailor the setup to suit your vibe.
