Onboard Cuisine

At Bucket List Charters, we like to tailor each charter to the requirements of our guests. Exceptional food is an essential part of the cruise. We employ a passionate, qualified chef on request to prepare meals from fresh seafood, to the best beef, lamb, poultry and fresh produce. Northland’s climate and soil provides a bounty of fresh ingredients. Our location enables us to source produce locally as much as possible and prepare meals with relatively low food miles.

Conditions and season permitting, the Bay of Islands also presents a unique opportunity for guests to catch their own seafood. Fish, crayfish and mussels are plentiful in the bay and are easily obtained armed with the right skills, knowledge and equipment.

You may prefer to book Bucket List charters for a day trip or overnight and supply your own food. We realise that for some of our guests this can be a way to make your charter more affordable. Just send an enquiry or contact us to discuss your requirements. We can plan for any budget or dietary requirements and ensure your dining experience on board goes smoothly.

My daughter, Camille, booked this amazing birthday weekend for my 30th!!! Birthday. We all had a marvellous time – fishing (caught 3 snapper for dinner) & Sam dived with Conrad (skipper) for scallops which we dined on that night with crayfish on the BBQ. Alan & Karen were very hospitable, taking us to gorgeous bays, beaches & fabulous walks. Many, many grateful thanks- we all had a super time – the best birthday I could ever have asked for, thanks family. Hope to be back for more than a weekend!
