4.00This was a pleasant afternoon sailing on the water. We enjoyed great views of the Auckland skyline from another perspective. The crew was great. Our only disappointment was a bit of crowding on the rather small vessel.

5.00Relaxing sail on the harbor!!! Captain was VERY INFORMATIVE, had a wonderful disposition, and we appreciated his hard-working/charming first mate. Learned about racing, history of area, the Harbor bridge construction, and fundamentals of sailing. My husband took the helm for a short time!
Excellent. Authentic, knowledgeable and very interesting.

5.00I have recommended it to people already. Excellent. Highly recommended. A really quality operation. The front desk is perhaps not the best, I tried to book direct and it was a bit 'computer says no' but via Viator it was easy. My only comment.
Must do yachting experience!

5.00Easy to arrange and access! Boats right in inner harbor near all the restaurants. Beautiful Americas cup type sailboat captained by Hamish and mate Finn. Great way to see Auckland from the water with insights on the yachting culture of Auckland.
