Hello Sailors
A growing number of New Zealanders keep their yachts in Europe. We’re the reason why. For over 30 years, we’ve been quietly making the extraordinary possible — finding the right vessel, delivering it safely, and ensuring every detail of European ownership is handled with precision. Owning a yacht on the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, or the Atlantic coast is not a distant dream. For our clients, it’s an annual reality. Yachtfinders Global navigates every complexity on your behalf: sourcing, surveys, delivery, EU compliance, and ongoing management. You arrive. You sail. We take care of everything else. The secret is out. The only question is when you’d like to set sail…..

Watch what happens when you swim with a 15-foot tiger shark | |
| |
‘We swam in open water with one of the world’s deadliest predators - the tiger shark - with no cage and no protection. What made it even more intense: our guide, Mike Coots, lost his leg to a shark and still chose to go back in. What we experienced challenged everything we thought we knew about sharks. This is a side of the ocean most people will never see.’

NZ Defence Force - Run silent, run long | |
| |
Run silent, run long. The Royal New Zealand Navy's Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) can operate 24/7, powered and propelled by sun, wind and wave action. That makes them ideal long-range platforms to conduct maritime surveillance on a wide variety of tasks. Their most recent operation was in partnership with New Zealand Customs in Northland monitoring vessels exhibiting behaviours that could indicate narcotics trafficking.
