Auckland dinner cruise.

The cruise was great. Good views of the harbour and city. Staff were friendly and attentive. One staff member was an astronomer who was very informative. The food servings were small and average.

Last of the summer schedule sunset sails - should be called a starlight cruise!

A perfect way to end our 6+ week holiday in NZ - a (past) sunset cruise of Auckland harbor!!! A gloriously clear night with such an array of stars (even with ambient light from Auckland). The crew was fantastic; the captain so informative and laid back - the food - appetizers were great; main course disappointed a little (lukewarm and a little dry). Once they hoisted the mainsail, there was enough breeze to really do some heeling tacks. Thanks all for a great (planned) last night in Auckland. Air New Zealand mucked up our departure plans - but definitely nothing to do with this 'adventure'!

A wonderful and most enjoyable Sailboat Dinner Cruise

We had a wonderful fun experience on the Sailboat Cruise! We were perhaps fortunate that there were only 7 passengers on the cruise, which made it quite an intimate cruise and interaction with our fellow sail mates! Hamish, the Skipper, Sophie and Billy made up the crew and it was a lot of fun sailing with them, including listening to their expert knowledge of sailing and of NZ and their life experiences. The dinner was excellent! The entrees suited all tastes and the mains were aptly served in a bowl so they could be enjoyed on the deck. The harbour was quite calm on the night however it did not detract from the sailing aspect at all. The views of Auckland Harbour from the boat were stunning plus the Southern Cross was clearly visible in the night sky. We felt that the cost and time on board were well worth it. Thoroughly recommend this cruise! Thank you for a great night!

One for the memory books

This was an Amazing experience. The guides were super knowledgeable about the location, and especially the sailing. The dinner was fantastic! Probably the best part for us was when my adult step-daughter got to steer the boat under sail; she was so excited, and now wants to learn how to sail,
