RAGLAN BOAT CHARTERS TESTIMONIALS

We had an awesome time on this cruise. It was so relaxing and the views were beautiful. Lovely rock formations, black sand beaches, birds and kids running along the beach. The crew were friendly, engaging, helpful and informative.

We had an unforgettable experience with Raglan Boat Charters’ Sunset Cruise! The breathtaking views, calm waters, and golden sky made for the perfect evening. Skipper Barlow and the crew were absolutely amazing—friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time. Their passion for the ocean and hospitality truly set this cruise apart. If you’re looking for a relaxing and magical way to experience Raglan, this is a must-do! Highly recommend!

Relaxed and Informative

I took my brother (in a wheelchair) and Mum and Dad on the midday cruise around the harbour. From start to finish we were really well looked after, the commentary from Capt Barlow was great, with a good mix of history and humour … would highly recommend. Thanks for a lovely afternoon
