We had a wonderful time on the water. The weather was cool, but sunny. Our Captain, Mac, made the sail interesting. He sailed whenever possible rather than motoring and we liked that. The packed lunch was good as well.
On our doorstep, an amazing experience.

We had a beautiful day weather wise, and an amazing trip, felt like millionaires sailing in such beautiful surroundings and the boat was great, could sit down the back, and chat with the staff, or sit on the bow in the sun and breeze. Staff had great knowledge on the area too to impart. Was just a fantastic day out, made better by great staff, a beautiful boat, scenery to die for, and weather. Would highly recommend when season starts again.

We did the full day private tour with two families. Steph took us all around showing us the best sites and was super fun and informative. Would recommend with a bigger group. As you get the whole day to yourself. We enjoyed paddle boarding and a short walk.
Beautiful March full day sail

This was an easy relaxing beautiful day. The only downside was we had very little wind so had to under power most of the day. Steph and Claudia offered a friendly atmosphere on board and added interesting info about Abel Tasman Park. The highlights for us were the serene golden beaches and the sounds of the singing on Adele Island. Nice lunch too. Thank you for a great day.
