Owner's Description

PRIVATE DAY CHARTERS & AFTERNOON/SUNSET CHARTERS Board our beautiful luxury sailing catamaran "Cool Change". Once we have cleared the harbour, we hoist the sails and make our way out into the stunning Bay of Islands. Relax and take in the sights as we cruise past some of the 144 islands that make up the Bay of Islands. The day is yours to enjoy in whichever way you see fit; be as hands-on or as hands-off on the itinerary of the day as you prefer. Unless you would rather a solely scenic cruising experience, we will select a bay that is sheltered from the prevailing weather conditions and drop anchor, allowing some exploration of the islands. If you are feeling adventurous, you may want to hike to the nearest viewpoint, or we have snorkelling gear, fishing gear, a tender with sea biscuit and paddleboards available for your use. If you simply want to relax, we have plenty of lounging areas onboard for you to take full advantage of or you may want to pick a quiet spot on the beach. At the end of the day, we heave the anchor and set sail back to your preferred drop-off point.
