   Sailing Classic Charter On 67ft

   The Skipper was all that can be expected of a seasoned mariner. He and his crew were approachable, knowledgeable, helpful, and gracious to a fault. The vessel, S/V Arcturus, has a storied history and is well documented in the library aboard. The upkeep and seaworthiness of the boat is immaculate, and the facilities aboard function as intended. This is not a new, shiny 2022 sailing yacht. 1930s technology, with some modern touches are present, and fully functional. I would do this again, with perhaps more time aboard, without any hesitation. Kudos to crew and Skipper for an enjoyable time.

   Sailing Classic Charter On 67ft

   What a great experience! Skipper Bruce is a real professional - knows what he is doing, actively engaged our throughout - talking to us about the boat, teaching us a bit about sailing, and sharing about Auckland/NZ generally. The boat is great as well - interesting history, fully restored. 30+ knot winds sure helped, but we had a great time and highly recommend chartering with Bruce.

   Sailing Adventures, 33ft Sports Cruising Catamaran

   I had booked the island hopper for a group of 7 ladies and couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience on the water! Our sailors Luke and Amy were so nice and super chill. They even let a few of us have a crack at steering the sail. Couldn’t recommend this enough

   Skippered and Crewed Charters aboard a Bali 4.5 - Bay of Islands, New Zealand

   Scott is a fantastic captain and host! All of our expectations were exceeded! The boat and itinerary were top notch. We loved our time cruising in & around the Bay of Islands and can’t wait to book a return trip. Nothing compares to a few great days on the water with good friends and outstanding scenery.

   If you have given even a vague thought to doing this, just do it! Our couple of days on this fabulous boat, with Phil as our skipper, is a top highlight of our month long trip in New Zealand. Marlborough Sound is stunningly beautiful; Phil is exceptionally knowledgeable, hospitable, and just lovely; Deb is super communicative; and their boat is comfortable, so well appointed and a superb way to spend time in this jaw-droppingly beautiful part of this extraordinary country. Thank you Deb and Phil, it was wonderful.

   We booked a sailing tour with Deb and Phil and had such a great time. Everything was perfect, the boat was beautiful, the scenery was stunning, and the mid-sail snacks were delicious! Phil was very knowledgeable and we had a great day. Highlight of our trip, could not recommend them highly enough!
