Provisioning

Want to find the freshest produce from the finest provisioners but don’t know where to start? Or need to bulk buy your basics but don't have the right transport? Provisioning with IMG is fast, efficient and delivers direct to your yacht. With a vast amount of experience provisioning yachts both in New Zealand and the surrounding Pacific Islands we can have top quality produce delivered to you by as required.

 

A brief overview of the products we can supply follows below, but more information can be found in our detailed Provisioning Guide. One of our team will bring this guide down to the boat and then sit down with your chef to ensure we understand your exact requirements with regard to freshness, packaging and cut. We are also happy to take your chef on a no obligation provisioning tour to see our suppliers and their products first hand.

Please bear in mind that New Zealand has strict quarantine rules and many items will need to be consumed prior to your arrival. Information on this can be seen in the Quarantine section on our Arrival Information page. But don’t fear that your cupboards will be empty on arrival. You are often allowed to keep more than you expect, especially if you have already come through Australia where they are much more stringent!

For any items you are unsure of, keep them onboard and on display in the galley and the MAF officer will be happy to advise. And of course here at Integrated Marine Support we regularly provide provisions as soon as a yacht arrives - whether you need a fresh supply of veggies, or lunch for the entire crew, just ask and they can be on the dock as you tie up!

Meat

New Zealand Lamb is renowned over the world. But it is not just the lamb that we do well. Beef, including grass fed, grain fed, organic and even Wagyu are available, along with excellent Pork and Chicken even in Organic, and especially game.

Fish & Seafood

A trip to New Zealand is not complete without sampling the nation’s fresh fish and seafood. IMG has access to a company with their own fishing boats guaranteeing a fresh catch for you. We can also source caviar, seafood, abalone, and New Zealand Green Lipped mussels. Give details of the size, fillet and cut required and our supplier takes the time to vacuum pack the fish to your exacting requirements. 

Fresh Produce

Produce is sourced from specialist buyers who are looking for the quality and freshness to suit your exact requirements. It can be provided daily, direct to your boat, and often to remote locations around the country. With a great selection of fruits, vegetables along with dairy products Integrated Marine Support can source excellent quality local and international products.

Beverages

Integrated Marine Support is the other Agent in New Zealand with a liquor licence. We can advise and provide a fantastic selection of wines, beers and spirits. We work with local suppliers to arrange wine tastings, introducing the local wines, so that your crew can serve your guests confidentally when on charter. Aside from alcohol we can provide fabulous high end teas such as Harney & Sons, excellent coffees beans or Nespresso refills, along with a great contact sourcing any type of bottled water your owner might favour. 

Other

Over the years we have spent many hours fine tuning our Provisioning service. We only use reliable companies who understand the need for following instructions and delivering on time. Whether you need truffle oils, parbaked breads and pastries or fresh pasta, we have the contacts you will love. We also have relationships with large stores where you can bulk buy and chains used by all the top end restaurants in New Zealand.

This is just a brief overview of our provisioning service. For any enquiries regarding provisioning, or information on regulations for yachts transiting between the various Pacific destinations, please contact Rachel Harrison: rachel@integratedmarinegroup.com
