See the city of sails from the sea as you cruise on the sparkling Waitematā Harbour aboard the Museum’s incredible heritage vessel - Ted Ashby!
Highlights
- Relaxing cruise on the Waitematā Harbour on board a heritage vessel

- Hear the canon fire and experience the 19th century rocking cabin
- A day of fun and discovery for all!
Set sail on your own adventure and cruise the sparkling Waitematā Harbour in one of our heritage vessels.
Climb aboard the Museum's ketch-rigged scow TED ASHBY, built by Museum staff and volunteers in 1994. Help the crew hoist the sails or sit back and take in the city skyline.
The Museum houses an extensive range of nautical and historical artifacts that represent New Zealand maritime history from the earliest Polynesian arrivals - right through to modern-day yachting triumphs.
View the equipment and national treasures that accompanied the brave individuals who played part in New Zealand’s maritime history including the remarkable and inspiring story of Sir Peter Blake. You’ll get up close and personal with the amazing journeys that helped shape a nation.
At midday each day a cannon is fired, and watch out - its louder than you think!
Interactive, educational and truly memorable, the Maritime Museum is sure to be a hit with young and old alike.
“The highlight of the day was definitely the sail under the harbour bridge. Manned by volunteers who were the friendliest and most enthusiastic bunch yet. As visitors to New Zealand we felt like we had hit the jackpot.” – TATAustralia

Sailing the Auckland Harbour
A wonderful trip across the Auckland Harbour and under the Harbour Bridge. The weather was beautiful which made the experience so much better. The crew we had were a great bunch and had us raising and lowering the sails when necessary. The young kids loved it and so did we oldies. Highly recommended.
