Custom & Bespoke Charters

Have something in mind that isn't on the menu? Tell us what you need and the crew will build it. Custom and bespoke charters cover the requests that don't fit a standard product — a proposal or celebration on the water, a stable platform for film and photography crews, ash scatterings and memorial trips handled with care, specialised or targeted fishing, marine-research support, and marine logistics. Everything is planned around your brief, the conditions on the day, and the relevant permits. Share the details and we will scope it, quote it, and confirm what is possible.

Safety and conditions

✓Some bespoke requests may require specialist permits or permissions; these are identified and arranged (or flagged) during scoping rather than assumed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I request a custom charter?

Send us the details — what you want to do, the date(s), guest numbers and any special requirements. We scope it, confirm what is possible, and send a quote.

How much lead time do you need?

It depends on the request. Simple bespoke trips can often be arranged on short notice; anything needing permits, specialist crew or equipment benefits from more lead time — we will tell you up front.

How is it priced?

Custom charters are quoted per brief based on duration, vessel use, crew, catering and any permits or hire. There is no fixed rate — we send a clear quote before you commit.
