Power Boat Hire on Lake Wānaka | Lakeland Wanaka | Shaara Deals

No licence, no problem — with Lakeland Wanaka's self-drive power boat hire, listed on Shaara Deals from $225, you take the wheel yourself and set your own course across Lake Wānaka.

Your own boat, your own itinerary

This is boat hire, not a guided tour: you set the location and duration yourself, whether that's a relaxing sightseeing cruise, a run out to Wānaka's nature islands, or a fun day on the water with family. The boat is a 6.5m Stabicraft, surveyed and fitted with all safety equipment, carrying up to 8 passengers.

No licence required

Skippers don't need a boat licence, but must be over 18 years old and have a full understanding of New Zealand Maritime Rules, including collision avoidance and speed limits. Lakeland Wanaka provides basic training before you head out, covering general operation of the vessel and a rundown of the lake's navigational hazards.

Pricing and extras

Hire is priced at $225 per hour or $550 for a half day (4 hours), both plus fuel. Want to make a day of it? Biscuit hire starts from $50 and wakeboard or waterski hire from $80, so you can turn your time on Lake Wānaka into a full watersports outing.
