Set Sail for Adventure on the Bay of Islands

Watch the sails catch the wind as you leave the harbour behind, gliding towards peaceful island destinations. The Bay of Islands offers breathtaking views where lush landscapes meet deep blue waters. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins, penguins, and seabirds that often join along the way.

As you drift into calm waters, the true beauty of the Bay comes alive. The air is fresh, the sea sparkles, and every turn reveals another hidden cove or pristine beach. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and calm, wrapped in the magic of New Zealand’s natural charm.

Activities and Adventures for Every Explorer

Anchored in a sheltered bay, guests can enjoy a variety of activities suited to every mood. Whether it’s a quiet paddleboard session, a lively snorkel among colourful fish, or casting a line for the catch of the day, there’s something for everyone. Those seeking serenity can unwind on deck or stroll along the golden sands nearby.

When it’s time to return, the sails rise once again as you head back towards your chosen drop-off point. Along the way, the friendly crew share local history and fascinating tales of the Bay’s past. Every moment offers a fresh perspective on this stunning region, making your sailing charter truly unforgettable.
