The Classic Yacht Charitable Trust

Dedicated to preserving New Zealand’s rich maritime heritage, the Classic Yacht Charitable Trust protects and restores historic timber vessels that might otherwise be lost to time.

Through passionate restoration efforts and public education, we ensure these early masterpieces of design and craftsmanship return to the water where they belong. By celebrating the legacy of our historic yachts and launches, we connect future generations with the enduring spirit of New Zealand’s seafaring history.
