'Lion New Zealand' - The Ultimate Sail in the Bay of Islands

Built for the late Sir Peter Blake to race in the 1985/86 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race and winner of the infamous 1984 Sydney to Hobart, this magnificent yacht offers a once in a lifetime experience!

This adventure provides an awesome opportunity for lots of water and outdoor activities, grind the winces, set the sail, take the helm while sailing the beautiful islands of the Bay of Islands.

Amazing photo opportunities and the chance to view abundant sea life, an absolute must for any visitor to the Bay. Your crew will give you informative commentary about the area during the trip.

At lunchtime, anchor at one of the idyllic bays for a delicious BBQ onboard, often commented on as being the best lunch in the Bay. It is here that you can participate in some great island activities, swimming, snorkeling, nature walks, or simply kick back and enjoy the island atmosphere.

Mid afternoon we set sail again and you will enjoy the fun sail back to the main land passing the many beautiful islands of the Bay.
