Rua Moana the luxury super catamaran being built in Tauranga is well on the way to being completed and is due for launch in early 2020 in time for the 36th America’s Cup. The hull and flybridge are currently being painted and the interior fit out is well under way.

It’s an exciting time for the project with the vessel quickly heading to its completion date. A berth has been acquired in Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour and she will be available for charter for day, overnight and extended excursions. Americas Cup viewing will be a spectacular event on board Rua Moana. Expressions of interest are welcome.
