Throughout history, yachts have been synonymous with affluence, glamour, and the upper echelons of society. Today, yachts largely remain the vessels of the elite, with larger boats offering serene escapes for Hollywood stars seeking respite on the Mediterranean’s sunlit coasts, and the smaller iterations used as private modes of transport in the world’s most glamorous cities.
Yet, despite Auckland’s unique proximity to water and the islands, the luxury travel experiences to Waiheke and surrounding islands have remained limited — until now. Enter LussoMare, an exciting new venture that seeks to provide an exclusive, luxury alternative to the existing travel offerings.

At the heart of LussoMare’s offering is the exquisite Wally 43 dayboat, Incognito. A stunning embodiment of Mediterranean opulence, Incognito redefines the personalised on-water experience. Blending sleek design with peerless performance, this state-of-the-art yacht accommodates up to eight passengers and two crew, offering an intimate, discreet, and entirely bespoke voyage across the Waitematā Harbour, to Waiheke Island and beyond.
Crafted to embrace the Kiwi summer, Incognito is a marvel of thoughtful innovation perfectly suited to any and every excursion. Its sun-drenched decks, shaded retreats, and adaptable spaces transform seamlessly into a floating playground, delivering an experience as dynamic as the Auckland coastline itself. Advanced stabilisers ensure smooth sailing in any conditions, while air-conditioned interiors provide a haven of comfort, even on the warmest midsummer days.
LussoMare brings the legacy of European elegance to New Zealand. Whether for private charters — with the options to fully customise a day on the water island-hopping, visiting vineyards, or simply relaxing offshore with onboard catering, a vast swim platform, and a Seabob for added fun, to luxury transfers — offering an alternative to a helicopter ride and simply whizz across the harbour to Waiheke direct from Bivacco (champagne in hand), LussoMare bridges the gap between luxury and accessibility to offer a novel service set to change the way we think about water transport.
With a professional and attentive crew, LussoMare’s promise is one of personalised journeys, seamless comfort and ultimate discretion. Whether it’s a serene escape or an indulgent celebration, LussoMare delivers an unforgettable experience every time — tailored to discerning Aucklanders looking to live la dolce vita.
