Who we are
A New Zealand family business, from the team that started boating by subscription in 1998.
Our story
Daily is a New Zealand family-owned and operated company, built on more than 25 years of experience in shared and subscription boating.
It started in 2022, when Laura wanted a new boat. With no time for maintenance and nowhere to keep one, she looked at the alternatives. They were too expensive, didn't allow enough time on the water, or used boats that were too small or poorly looked after. There was a clear gap for people who simply want a good boat without the hassle, so we built Daily to fill it.
Daily is part of the YachtShare group. YachtShare was the first in the world to offer boating by subscription, in 1998, and over the years we have refined a system our members love. Daily takes that experience and applies it to day boats: the simplest way to get out on the Hauraki Gulf.
