• Best Sailing Tours

Let us take you on a journey of discovery aboard our well-appointed, 41-foot catamaran, exploring the waters surrounding Waiheke Island, and calling in at the hidden coves and beaches of the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.

Choose an exclusive charter or join one of our Hauraki Gulf eco adventures and learn about the unique flora and fauna of the Gulf. You’ll hear stories of the people who have made this special part of the world their home, and learn about the efforts that are being made to protect the waters and islands of the Gulf.

On a voyage with us you’ll have time to swim, snorkel, paddle board or kayak, walk on a pest-free island and wander empty beaches, or simply sit back and soak up the best that the outer Hauraki Gulf has to offer. You’ll be treated to a delicious lunch featuring local produce and refreshments.

We are the only sailing tour provider to operate directly out of Waiheke Island and in the outer Gulf, which means we’ve no sooner weighed anchor than you’re out in the stunning natural environment of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.

Come with us and experience Waiheke Island and the Hauraki Gulf in a unique and unforgettable fashion.
