R Tucker Thompson Full Day Sail

Sailing the Bay of Islands on the R Tucker Thompson

The R Tucker Thompson is a traditional gaff-rigged schooner that carries the charm of New Zealand’s maritime past. On this full day sailing adventure from Russell, you can choose to take the helm, help set the sails, or simply relax on deck. With its timeless design and welcoming crew, the ship delivers an authentic tall ship experience.

Your voyage includes morning tea, a beach stop for a swim, and a delicious BBQ lunch freshly prepared on board. The calm waters of the Bay of Islands create the perfect backdrop for adventure or quiet reflection as the schooner glides along. Since proceeds support youth training programmes, your day on the water also helps keep this maritime legacy alive for future generations.
