Sailing Thursday - Sunday, February, March and April.
Please Note: We are currently looking for our next permanent Skipper which means at present we are operating on a system of relief skippers which can cause disruptions to our sailing schedule if one is sick or becomes unavailable.
We know this is not an ideal situation but are working to speed up the recruitment process to be able to operate consistently for the betterment of our community.
If you are looking for a new gig and hold a current Skipper Restricted Limits license, we would love to hear from you. contact [email protected]
The Paddle Steamer Waimarie provides a unique river-related experience. Our cruises are available over the warmer months (September-May) and include Cruising at 11, themed, and private charter cruises by arrangement.
All cruises operate on Te Awa Tupua - Whanganui River onboard the iconic Paddle Steamer Waimarie – New Zealand’s last coal-fired paddle steamer operating from the golden riverboat era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
We offset our carbon footprint by supporting local tree planting initiatives which primarily relate to the health of local whenua and Te Awa Tupua, the Whanganui River for the betterment of our future.
