Great experience on this boat
When we went the weather wasn’t cooperating at all: unfortunately we had quite some rain from the start, it is still a very interesting experience to do! The crew will provide you with good rainjackets., any valuables you don’t want to take onboard, are securely stored away before gou embark the boat. And it’s just fun to encounter this kind of experience, if you have any sailing experience or none at all, for everyone it’s great to do!

Amazing experience
This was the best thing I did in Auckland - can highly recommend it. Fun, exciting, novel and a great way to see the harbour and city. The crew were brilliant and involved us all whilst expertly sailing the yacht.
