Linecharters.com was developed to cover the lack of a general web site promoting boating and charter activities. A place where those with an interest in boats can hook up with friends and charter operators to make the most of New Zealand's superb aquatic resources.

Linecharters.com aims to promote positive perceptions of New Zealand as a marine paradise, build on our sailing successes and encourage more people to come and 'experience New Zealand from the water'. We expect the directory to grow rapidly with more and more people making it their first port of call before getting on the water.

About Line Charters
Founded in September 2003, linecharters.com is New Zealand's leading Internet Boat Booking web site. The site is intended as a smooth 'slipway' to enjoyable boating. A place where those with an interest in boats could 'hook up' with friends and charter operators to make the most of New Zealand's superb aquatic resources.

Who is behind Line Charters?
Matt Hardy developed the idea of Line Charters way back in 2001. In 2002, Peter Crowe added his marketing skills to the mix and the two developed the site's content and function. In 2010 Line Charters is maintained by Webhaven International, and continues to offer NZ's most affordable online charter booking system.

We are pleased to be able to present this new and exciting method of facilitating charters over the Internet. As Matt says "I enjoyed sailing and fishing and felt more people would benefit from a simple and direct booking system. 'Boathook' was developed to meet this need."

We also wish to encourage the New Zealand charter vessel industry to rise to the challenge of increasing tourism by ensuring the charter experience is as easy, accessible, safe and enjoyable as possible.

What Customers Think
We believe Line Charters answers an important need and more significantly charter customers do too.

"I think an on-line booking service would be really useful. I am starting to use the web more and more to book all sort of things. It's the perfect way to get the information across - I just can't see why you wouldn't use it." Bret Gower, Principal, Aviso Design Ltd

"In today's market people are booking all sorts of things on-line and I know travel is a major place where people are booking. And I would say that if I was able to book a charter boat on-line I would."
