The distinctive yellow and pink flag is giving confidence to on-the-water spectators that they are travelling with a safe commercial operator as they watch the America's Cup yachts this week.
Maritime NZ has made the flag available to commercial operators taking passengers to watch the Prada America's Cup World Series and Prada Christmas races.
"The flag shows that the operator is in a Maritime NZ recognised safety system or has an exemption," Neil Rowarth, Maritime NZ's Compliance Manager - North, said.
