Cathedral Cove Walk
Cathedral Cove is an iconic 'must-see' site on the Coromandel coast. The best way to explore this breathtaking coastline is by boat. We'll take you close to capture the beauty of this archway upclose from the yacht. We do not go ashore here.
Mercury Bay
The best place to sail in New Zealand. Kick back on our spacious catamaran and soak up the scenery as we sail by rugged islands, remote coastline, and stunning beaches, including the spectacular Cathedral Cove.

Beautiful afternoon of sailing, extremely well hosted by the crew. Amazing opportunity to get to sail the catamaran and see the wonderful coromandel coastline. They threw in loads of great extras to make the trip truly memorable!

A must do in Whitianga or Coromandel. Matt, Matt, and Casey were amazing hosts. We saw awesome views of the coast, and Matt and Casey gave a perfect amount of narration, but did not blather on. Very polite and service oriented.

Outstanding trip. Hamish and Rebecca were fantastic hosts making all of us feeling total welcome and relaxed. The kids haven’t stopped talking about it and are now trying to convince us to buy a boat (LOL). Highly recommend for a relaxing cruise and spectacular views. Also, snorkelling with the fish was amazing.

Had a wonderful afternoon cruising and swimming. The catamaran is very equipped and the snorkelling gear was provided. The crew were very professional, but also friendly. It made for a great afternoon
