We loved this tour. The skipper and his partner were very nice and friendly. They let us drive the boat and answered all questions. The weather was not good that day but the experience on the boat made it memorable. Highly recommend! Skipper was Jeff

Relaxing way to see Auckland’s skyline. The captain and first mate were friendly and took good care of us!

Sailing was amazing! My husband doesn't really love boats so I wasn't sure how comfortable he would be but he loved it! The guides were great and very knowledgeable about the harbor and history. The day was perfect for sailing. I can't recommend this enough. SO FUN!

I booked this experience 6 months in advance for me and a friend. We only had one day in Auckland and this was one of the things we wanted to do. We got to the marina desk to check in, only to be told that our experience had been cancelled. Apparently, a large group, who booked after us, needed the entire boat, so we were just bumped. The employee claimed that TripAdvisor was informed, but we were never told. This left us scrambling to find something else to do in our one day in Auckland.

Easy ride around the bay. Nice crew and relaxed environment. You can help pull or unfold sails if you want. Or to steer the boat.

We had a wonderful time on our sailboat. The skipper and his crews of one other person did a fantastic job of caring for us. It was so much fun being able to steer the ship. Our weather was a bit overcast, but perhaps better than a strong hot sun.
