Experience the best the Rotorua lakes have to offer with
Pure Cruise New Zealand onboard our luxury yacht 'Tiua', a stylish 53 foot catamaran. Enjoy an eco-sailing experience in pure comfort, on Lake Rotoiti a pristine natural environment rich in cultural history and wildlife.

Lake Rotoiti is the most stunning and undiscovered lake of Rotorua, making it an idyllic destination for clients looking to embark on a luxurious sailing experience. Moored at the private jetty of the prestigious Duxton Hotel in Okawa Bay Rotorua, this beautiful vessel Tiua is newly refurbished, featuring contemporary comfort throughout.

Pure Cruise have designed Tiua specifically for entertaining. High levels of comfort throughout the lounge and cockpit provide perfect places to relax with a drink in pure comfort.  Our licenced bar features premium New Zealand wines matched with fine cuisine from The Duxton’s top chef Jonathan Beattie. Onboard facilities include three bathrooms, two luxury en-suite cabins and the spacious foredeck is just right for experiencing the pleasure of sailing in this unspoiled environment.

Guests have the chance to helm Tiua, hoist the sails and grind the winches, try their hand at trout fishing, leap off to swim in the fresh water or soak in the natural mineral hot pools that are only accessible by boat. Alternatively sit back and let the crew set the sails while you relax and enjoy premium NZ beverages and fine cuisine while the scenery slips by under full sail, ‘it’s simply stunning”.

Pure Cruise’s knowledgeable skipper and crew are always happy to share local legends and point out some of the many historic and culturally significant sites of Lake Rotoiti. Tiua (Maori for ‘ride the wind’) has a large spacious deck with bean bags and nets to spread out on at the bow. The comfortable saloon and cockpit areas are fully weather tight with clear roll down curtains allowing us to cruise, fish and soak in any weather.
