Relaxing sailing in beautiful Auckland!!!

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.

5.00This was the final day of our trip to NZ from the UK and it was absolutely fabulous. Noel and Steve were amazing and made us feel very welcome and well catered for. The yacht was amazing and the weather was perfect. Couldn’t recommend it more. A wonderful way to round up our fabulous trip.
