Discovery Two, operated by Skippers Canyon Jet, crashed into a rockface on the Shotover River in February last year - throwing one person partly overboard, breaking her leg, and injuring eight others.
The Transport Accident Investigation Commission found the crash was caused by a mechanical failure.
Maritime New Zealand said charges have been filed under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
The matter will next be called in court later this month.
