“Long charter” specials —It was so successful last season that we are running this

again. We reward the client who charters for longer with more discount. The “Long

Charter” discount structure is as follows.

Those who want to take a little more time to see the Sounds are rewarded with

greater discounts. Our return clients (within the last calendar year) are of course enti-

tled to their standard 10% discount and if you haven't been with us for a couple or

more we are now offering a 5% return client discount no matter when you came. We

need proof of your last charter with us.

NB: Our “Return Clients” discount is not able to be used with any other specials.

Latest News updates for 2012/2013 season

New Vessels in the fleet

We have a 2004, 35ft Jeanneau yacht called “Okoromai”, a 2011 Fi-Glass Cavalier

5.4m called “Slingshot II” and a 2005 Bayliner ski boat called “Bowrider” which

have joined our fleet. See below for more details.

"Okoromai", - At 10.42m overall length, the 35ft is aimed squarely at the centre of the family cruis-ing and sailboat charter market. It has been de-signed by Marc Lombard, one of the hot names on the Open 50 and 60 long-haul racing scene, indi-cating that sailing performance has been taken se-riously. At the same time it is undeniably a people

What's happening...

4 days = 5% discount



7 days + = 20% discount

Summer is here and Xmas is 5 weeks away! The Compass Charters crew is ready to

help you again this season to enjoy that floating holiday in the beautiful Marlborough

Sounds. We have added a few new boats to the Compass fleet and all the usual fa-

vorites have had their annual maintenance and are ready to go. Bookings are up from

the last few seasons so the secret of our playground here has gotten out! We have a

fleet now of 20 vessels meaning a large choice available for everyone's needs out on

the water. We look forward to you NZ/Aus regulars returning to the area and many old

and new international crews from Europe, USA, South America, Africa and Asia en-

joying the paradise we have here in the Sounds.

carrier, with the large volume interior space allocated effectively to suit bareboat char-ter in the three-cabin layout.

Go ahead and treat the family to a cruise they will never forget!

We have a new ski boat to the fleet—

“Bowrider”, a Bayliner 205 and a sort after

model. Sporting bold looks and sharp design, it

truly stands out on the water. The roomy cockpit

and bow make the perfect haven for all-day es-

capes on the water. If water sports are your

game, “Bowrider” comes to play with a 5.0L MPI

engine and the smoothest ride you can get.

And we have a NEW (literally) runabout. A 2011 Fi-Glass Cavalier 5.4m

called "Slingshot II”. The combination of great looks, comfort, handling and

room to spare make it easier to enjoy the rewards of being out on the water with

family and friends. The handling characteris-

tics of this boat are the envy of many, provid-

ing seamless performance and comfort with a

sporting flare of a true thoroughbred. It all

adds up to a less strenuous day on the water.

“Slingshot II” is brand new from the factory.

Try out her Mercury 115HP 4 stroke with fuel

management system!

"Zachary Hicks” has had a brand new Volvo D2

20HP engine installed. The popular Carpenter 29ft

sleeps 7 at a stretch but is perfect for a group of 4.

Complete with a fridge and separate freezer, hot wa-

ter, new electronics, new Genoa, new dinghy, electric

toilet makes her a little yacht with all the comforts of a

big one.

The "Boat and Bach" package has surpassed all our expectations. Kathie at

Kulak Rent A House has over 80 bachs, covering a wide selection of prices, loca-

tions and options to choose from and she can coordinate directly with us to en-

sure that the charter vessel will have a suitable mooring or floating jetty, offering

peace of mind and the independence to come and go as you wish. A selection of

5 runabouts to Choose from.

"Bugamar" has a brand new Volvo D2

55HP engine. Also new electronics and a

new freezer. This 4 cabin Oceanis option

allows for a group of 8 to cruise in luxury,

exceptionally well out fitted, with new sails

and a dinghy davit system for extreme ease

Compass Charters ‘12/’13 Boat & Bach draw.

We are running a prize draw AGAIN this season for a weekend Boat & Bach holi-day. If you book and charter with us this season you automatically go into the

draw for this great prize. The boat is "Orion" - a McLay 650 hard top with a 175HP. The Bach sleeps 6 and has all the usual Kiwi comforts. The lucky client will be drawn on the 1st of May 2013 and has one year to use the holiday.

The PRIZE is a 2 night/3 day Boat & Bach holi-day. The boat is “Orion” (6.5m McLay Hard

Top). Surveyed for 7 people, 175HP with all the toys. Worth up to $1240—Terms and conditions apply.

of use, she really does have to be experienced. Perfect for a group of friends or a

large family.

“Phoenix” has been repowered with a

105HP Nissan. Now, our most popular launch will

get you and your crew to your favourite mooring

faster by a 1kt or so! Also being added this winter

is a LPG Califont for hot water which will save the

engine being run (and noise) at a mooring when

you need to tidy your self up for going ashore!

Call us for availability as the vessel is popular.

NB: All petrol and 2 stroke oil are not included in the daily rate.

"Boat and Bach" - We have several ideal runabouts for any group of up

to 6 or 7. Hard Tops have the advantage of a cabin to allow you to get out of all

weathers – whether too hot or too cold, fully open boats for you sun lovers and a

little rib (with budget to match) so you can just pop around to that next bay.

Hire a runabout and a Bach in the Sounds. We have a choice of over 5 run-

abouts & 80 Bachs with own moorings/ or jetties in the Sounds. They are the

perfect spots to get away from the pace of city life. Explore the sounds during

the day with your own runabout. Fish, dive, bush walks, water-skiing or just

read a book, you have the best of both worlds ashore and afloat.

For those of you who want civilization close at hand, we have a great house

(sleeps 12) in Waikawa Bay which is 2 minutes from the boat ramp. Plenty of

space and parking for you and your crew. Great for kids and family if the men

want to head out on the water for some serious fishing, the ladies can relax at

leisure and the kids have plenty to do in the area.

Prices start at $190 (depending on which runabout you choose,

which Bachs and the season) for 24 hrs. Minimum stay at some is 48hrs

(depending on time of year). Leave on a Friday afternoon and spend all day

Saturday in your own paradise then head back Sunday afternoon.

The runabouts we use for this special are Orion (left), Huntsman (centre

left) and Bowrider (centre right) + Slingshot II (right—See page 3 for more

details.)

Return Clients discount—changes for 2012/2013 Compass Charters has always offered a 10% return clients discount (as long as it within a calendar year from your last charter) as we want to look after our clients year after year.– This wont change! But what we also want to do is to reward those clients who have been with us in the past who don't qualify for the 10% discount. So any client who has been with us since 1991 when we started, we will give a 5% discount. Proof of charter with us in the past is required. Return clients discounts cannot be combined with long charter discounts.
