Vessel Details

Rua Moana was designed and built by a team driven to create an extraordinary vessel – a perfect expression of their exacting craft. Rua Moana is a true superyacht that will create a deep impression on even the most discerning connoisseur. We guarantee that your expectations will be exceeded and you will feel completely at home aboard Rua Moana. If perfection in every detail is what you demand, then Rua Moana will satisfy you perfectly.

Rua Moana is a study in pure elegance. The fluid lines of its catamaran hull design and computerised ride control systems maximise comfort and fuel efficiency, and at the same time minimise wake disturbance to the delicate coastal ecosystems of our cruising waters. There are generously proportioned outdoor areas, which include a submersible beach platform at the stern, and a spa pool on the foredeck. While the flying bridge provides a lofty platform from which to take in the spectacular natural panorama of our cruising waters.

Even the most minute aspect of Rua Moana’s interior has benefitted from fastidious attention to detail and devotion to effortless luxury. Décor is streamlined and clutter-free, producing a feeling of light and space. Hard surfaces are smooth and sleek, and soft furnishings are lush and inviting. There is room to be social and space for privacy, without compromising either one. There are four guest cabins, each with a Queen size bed and its own ensuite bathroom. Deep 100% wool New Zealand carpets soften footsteps and minimise sound to enhance the profound sense of peace and wellbeing that embraces you as soon as you step aboard Rua Moana. A chefs galley, indoor and outdoor dining areas, main saloon, media room, and wine lounge complete the main floor with a state-of-the-art flying bridge and large outside deck located upstairs.

Environmentally conscious, energy-efficient thinking is evident throughout. You can discover more about this aspect of Rua Moana’s design and construction here

The waters of the Hauraki Gulf and the islands off the Auckland region’s east coast create some of the world’s finest cruising waters. Shelter is always nearby, but the freedom of the South Pacific is within easy reach. Nowhere else in the world gives you so much variety, all within a few effortless hours of our home mooring in the heart of Auckland City.

The Hauraki Gulf is host to an abundance of picturesque islands large and small. Exquisite golden sand beaches are plentiful, many of which are completely deserted – just like those in your favourite childhood stories.

A short ocean voyage will bring you to the stunning Mercury group to the south, while further north there is world-class diving in the crystal clear waters of the Poor Knights Islands marine reserve and the Bay of Islands. In between, countless other islands and coves add a true element of romance and adventure to your luxury cruise aboard Rua Moana.
