New Zealanders are passionate about sailing and with so much coastline to explore, it’s little wonder!
On Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf, the opportunity to relive the world’s oldest and most prestigious sailing trophy is provided with two ex America Cup yachts, NZL 40 and NZL 41. They offer the unique opportunity to participate sailing on these grand prix racing machines.
Passengers become the crew and are encouraged to take the helm, exert energy on the grinders or simply sit back and enjoy the action sailing down the Auckland Harbour. The trip suits people of all experiences and abilities.
The Northland region offers spectacular coastal scenery and a relaxed ambience. No trip to the region would be complete without experiencing a water based excursion. Explore the magical Bay of Islands and Northland coast aboard a luxury motor launch or sailing yacht, guided by professional and knowledgeable crew. This aquatic paradise boasts over 144 islands creating secluded bays and coves and playing host to prolific marine life and a colourful history.
The Nelson and Marlborough Sounds region at the top of the South Island provides for stunning natural beauty and tranquillity. Explore the famous Able Tasman National Park near Nelson or Pelorus Sound in the Marlborough Sounds with the latter being a truly unique area, distinctively different from the Queen Charlotte Sound that most visitors get to see while travelling on the Interisland Ferry.
Enjoy the opportunity to visit a Greenshell Mussel farm, learn the intricacies of growing this delicacy in the Sounds and the history of aquaculture in the area as well as the history of the pioneers who created the industry.
Further south, Stewart Island can offer a remote and rewarding experience exploring Patersons inlet area, old whaling bases and the Ulva Island Bird Sanctuary which is well known for it's native bird life. The Fiordland Sounds offer stunning cruises from Dusky Sounds to the famous Doubtful and Milford Sounds.
