Looking forward to the return....

As you may have heard, The Lakeland Queen will be launched back into Lake Rotorua next Thursday 28th at 8:00 AM — returning to her home at the jetty (after being dry docked for four years due to covid)

We warmly welcome anyone who’d like to come down and witness this special moment. However, for safety reasons, we kindly ask that everyone stays well back from the launch area and please note that we can’t have any guests onboard during the launch.

This moment has been a long time coming — we’ve been working tirelessly for the past 18 months to make this possible.

A massive thank you to all the amazing contractors, workers, and supporters who have helped us bring her back this far💙

There’s still a bit more work ahead before she’s fully back in service, but this is a huge milestone — and we couldn't have done it without you!
See you Thursday morning!
