Indulge in a truly unforgettable night with the world premiere of Butterfly Smokescreen — an intimate, immersive theatrical experience aboard Aotearoa's largest capacity superyacht.

Step aboard the Sea Breeze III and be plunged into an evening of Hollywood glamour, high society, love triangles, and a twist of murder.

The year is 1924, and famed Hollywood producer Thomas H. Ince is celebrating his birthday aboard the prized yacht of newspaper tycoon W.R. Hearst. Some of his party guests? Film royalty Charlie Chaplin, Marion Davies, and … you.

Based on a real unsolved Hollywood mystery, Butterfly Smokescreen is an intimate night of extravagance, scandal and temptation that will transport you to the roaring '20s. Wear your finest glad rags and join the mystery at Ince's birthday party, following characters around all four levels of a 100ft luxury superyacht, seeing things nobody was supposed to see.

Butterfly Smokescreen docks in Auckland for 10 weeks only, with very limited capacity. Book now!
