Awesome Day Sailing

We had an amazing day sailing despite the windy conditions. Mike was an awesome host, the food and snacks provided were delicious, even loved Mike's 'secret herb'. My daughter had so much fun sailing the boat for a long period of time. Highly recommend this trip, Mike took us to an awesome sheltered bay so we could enjoy some snorkeling. Loved listening to Mike's sailing stories over the years, we didn't feel like guests on the trip. We felt like family on the sailing yacht. We will definitely be back again! Thanks Mike

Fantastic day

This was such a great experience for us as novice sailors. We loved getting involved and learning from the highly experienced captain and crew. Awesome picnic food and a great time exploring an island. Thank you

Great day sailing!

Well worth the trip. One of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand. Mike runs a relaxed, well organized and fun ship with lots of colourful stories. We had a sunny warm day and a great time out on the water. 10 out of 10!!
