BELLADONNA

60 foot Maritimo motor yacht


During the early summer months the beauty of Double Cove Retreat is further extended by the presence of Belladonna, a 60 foot Maritimo motor yacht.  With expansive outer decks and a fully climate-controlled interior, Belladonna is the perfect place to enjoy a summer's day exploring the beautiful waters of the Marlborough Sounds, or cruising out on the Wellington harbour.  

 

An itinerary planned in order to make the most of the warm weather sees Belladonna  typically in Wellington over December for pre-Christmas cocktail party charters and celebrations. She has the picturesque Marlborough Sounds as her backdrop for January and February, and then onto the Auckland/Bay of Islands area for April and May. This schedule is flexible however and can be changed to suit your requirements. The warmer waters off the Pacific Islands are where she spends the New Zealand winter months, basing herself in Port Denarau, Fiji.

-Deluxe entertaining and dining areas

-Equipment for game fishing, scuba diving, water skiing and kayaking

-Large screen TVs, Sky, DVD & CD library, BOSE sound systems

Belladonna can hold up to 25 people for day charters and sleeps six overnight. She is fully equipped for a wide variety of cruising activities, making her perfect for luxury fun-filled family holidays to wining and dining business clients on a luxury harbour cruise.
