About the Fiordland Jewel

Explore the breathtaking wilderness of Fiordland National Park in New Zealand —raw, remote, and unforgettable. Step aboard the Fiordland Jewel, a boutique catamaran designed to bring you closer to nature’s grandeur than ever before.

Purpose-built for comfort and adventure, the Fiordland Jewel spans 24 metres across three decks, showcasing a luxurious five-star marine fit-out.  Fiordland and Stewart Island small-group expeditions welcome a maximum of just 18 guests across nine climate-controlled ensuite cabins.

Crafted by owner Rob Swale, the Fiordland Jewel was born from a deep passion for Fiordland’s wild beauty—a vessel built to deliver the kind of once-in-a-lifetime journey you’ll never forget.
