Fabulous experience. Family group of 17 with age range from 16 to 83. All loved it. Brad and Monique were fun, friendly and professional. Communication from the beginning to the end was excellent. Highly recommend - would do it again in a heartbeat!
Beautiful day in the Bay!

We had an amazing day on the water with our Bayscapes private charter. Monique and Brad were lovely to work with both during the planning stages and during the trip itself. The day we originally booked had rain forecast for the whole day and before I even noticed Brad had emailed me to help us plan another day to sail. During the trip they gave us a few options of islands to visit, letting us know which might be best for what activities we enjoyed. We sailed to Motorua Island where we walked to the top of the island for some amazing views of the bay. My husband was able to paddle board while we explored the beach then we headed back to the boat for a delicious lunch. We relaxed up front with drinks (don’t forget to BYOB!) as we sailed back and got dropped off in Russel for the rest of the afternoon. If you have a chance to book the private charted you won’t regret it- it was so special to have the boat to ourselves and Monique and Brad are great!
Best day ever

Absolutely BRILLIANT. Brad and Monique run a VERY professional, seamless operation from the initial booking to the trip itself. Can talk to others if wanted OR have quiet time. No pressure to 'mix'. We went for a short bush walk on the island we stopped at, even went paddle boarding (sitting only!) for the first time - see image. Lunch was wonderful (even the provided gluten-free option). A very relaxing and enjoyable day. "Best day ever", said my wife. We would give it 6 stars if that were possible. Bugger it - here they are ... ****** !
The best way to see the Bay of Islands!

Fantastic experience seeing the Bay of Islands on this beautiful catamaran.we were welcomed on board by Brad and Monique , who made this trip even more memorable with their friendly hospitality! We visited Honeymoon bay , where we stopped to visit the beach and climb the hill to take in the views of all the other islands.we had time to explore and swim, they provided us with paddle boards, snorkels and dingys. We had a lovely lunch provided and then continued our trip around the islands.
