Sail Melbourne in a Catalina 320 Yacht

Dean and Pam were so lovely and welcoming, we felt very comfortable and at ease on the boat. The boat is beautiful and we had a wonderful photoshoot. Would love to return one day!

47'

We had an amazing time on the lake with David! He made our trip a very memorable experience by sharing his knowledge about his boat, the lake and the Māori carvings during the trip! The boat was fantastic with tons of room and allowed for a peaceful sail across the lake with stunning views. We even stopped off to have a dip and some food before heading back. We cannot recommend this trip enough and are truly thankful to David and Jess for a wonderful time!

Sailing Classic Charter On 67ft

The Skipper was all that can be expected of a seasoned mariner. He and his crew were approachable, knowledgeable, helpful, and gracious to a fault. The vessel, S/V Arcturus, has a storied history and is well documented in the library aboard. The upkeep and seaworthiness of the boat is immaculate, and the facilities aboard function as intended. This is not a new, shiny 2022 sailing yacht. 1930s technology, with some modern touches are present, and fully functional. I would do this again, with perhaps more time aboard, without any hesitation. Kudos to crew and Skipper for an enjoyable time.

Sailing Classic Charter On 67ft

What a great experience! Skipper Bruce is a real professional - knows what he is doing, actively engaged our throughout - talking to us about the boat, teaching us a bit about sailing, and sharing about Auckland/NZ generally. The boat is great as well - interesting history, fully restored. 30+ knot winds sure helped, but we had a great time and highly recommend chartering with Bruce.

Sailing Adventures, 33ft Sports Cruising Catamaran

I had booked the island hopper for a group of 7 ladies and couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience on the water! Our sailors Luke and Amy were so nice and super chill. They even let a few of us have a crack at steering the sail. Couldn’t recommend this enough

Luxury Sailing at its Finest in the Bay of Islands and beyond

Scott is a fantastic captain and host! All of our expectations were exceeded! The boat and itinerary were top notch. We loved our time cruising in & around the Bay of Islands and can’t wait to book a return trip. Nothing compares to a few great days on the water with good friends and outstanding scenery.
