Onboard Cuisine

At Bucket List Charters, we like to tailor each charter to the requirements of our guests. Exceptional food and fine wines are 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, scallops 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. Bucket List Charters can supply food, drink and alcoholic beverages or you can supply your own. 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.

Thank you so much for a wonderful week of family fun, eating crayfish, and mussels in Karen’s Thai curry, yum. Our wonderful skipper who kept us safe and of course I must mention Trout Valley & Cecelia, and dear old Moet. I loved climbing Rawhiti hill, I want to be buried there, on top of the world with my Maori brothers. I nearly forgot your fresh bread Karen, mmm. I could fill up the pages ahead retelling the wonders of New Zealand’s green seas, rugged scenery and sitting serenely in the beautiful bays, sleek, spacious, “State of the Art” Alan & Karen’s Bucket List beauty.

There aren’t enough superlatives in the English language to capture the good feelings we have every time we journey with our friends Alan & Karen on Bucket List. The views, breeze, food & wine, kayaking, hikes, sight seeing, music & laughter….my one complaint is that I smile so much my cheeks hurt! Thanks perce & perce

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!
