Step aboard Kermadec, the world’s first state-of-the-art electric hydrofoiling ferry, for a one-of-a-kind experience. Glide effortlessly above the waves on your tour of Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour while taking in panoramic views of the city skyline, Harbour Bridge and pristine waters of the Gulf. Enjoy an intimate journey with expert commentary from your crew, highlighting cutting-edge hydrofoiling technology and Auckland’s vibrant marine environment.

Equipped with a throttle and steering wheel, operating Kermadec feels similar to driving a regular outboard vessel. But that’s where the similarities end.

This eco-friendly vessel runs entirely on electricity. As you accelerate to a speed of 15-20 knots, Kermadec lifts gracefully out of the water, gliding effortlessly on its hydrofoils.

High-precision flaps on the foils automatically adjust to factors like weight, wind, and waves, ensuring a smooth and stable ride no matter the conditions.

With zero emissions technology, this is the most environmentally friendly way to see Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour
