Expected a lot more to be honest.. Never again.

KC 13 April 2023

For $150 each the whole night really wasn't what we had hoped for... The meals were below average, pre-made and luke warm served in small bowls. My partner got the steak, in a bowl, cutting it without a steak knife was interesting.. We were both still so hungry afterwards that we went to McDonalds on the way home. When sitting up top it felt pretty cramped with the amount of people there and the smell from the toilet wafted up a few times which was horrid on another level. There was a couple who thought we all might like to enjoy listening to their Spotify playlist of lets just say high pitched and intense 'cultural music' whilst making out right next to us. Like I get it, they can do what they want however, I found it super rude and thoughtless to the rest of us and it was doing my head in. Didn't appreciate being forced to endure it at all as I'm sure they would have felt the same if I had blasted some heavy DNB or something. After the first hour I just wanted to get off and go home, It was cold and cramped and we were just over it - Wasn't the experience we were hoping for at all. On a positive note, the staff were all super lovely, sweet and engaged with everyone on board.

Wonderful experience - totally enjoyed

Wonderful evening on the harbour. Staff were so friendly and helpful through every stage...making booking, reception and on board. We were joined by two other couples and there was plenty of room and good conversation. Beautiful February evening with clear sky and light winds..food was good - can dine outdoors or inside. Really wonderful experience of sailing with ability to take the helm. Would certainly buy again and give as a gift. Rain ‘ponchos’ and blankets provided but remember to wear sensible footwear.

Great Night Out

Had an awesome time on the yacht. Lovely staff who were very knowledgeable about Auckland and sailing. Nice meal and was a smooth ride out on the harbour. Thanks guys

Memorable experience!

Laura 2 February 2020

Great experience. Immediate warm welcome from the crew with a brief onboard safety discussion. After we set sail, we were allowed to move around the yacht for great views of Auckland Harbour. Would thoroughly recommend for a romantic evening.

Great experience highly recommended

Great experience. The first time being on a sailing boat. The weather helped us and able to watch sunset towards the end. Also we were able to take a wheel for a little bit. Amazing for the guys haven’t been on a boat much

The crew made the trip

fabes 9 October 2019

Was an awsome experience, the food needs a little work especially the tuna bowl. Great crew, had alot of interesting facts and explained how the boat worked which i found really interesting

Fantastic fun.

DomHeroEllis 24 February 2019

Such a good experience, we took the dinner cruise. Food was good enough but what really made the cruise was the fantastic crew. Especially enjoyed the banter from internationally recognised photography expert Justin.

Lovely evening out

Christine55 24 February 2019

We went out on a rainy night so not ideal, but the weather didn't deter anyone from having a great time, and fortunately there wasn't much wind - although enough to sail. The crew were excellent and the food was pretty good. They brought everyone together. It was a great night.

Fabulous Experience

Trudy and John 16 January 2019

This was a gift from our children for our 50th wedding anniversary and it was great. Captain Charles and his crew were wonderful. They had a lot of knowledge about the harbour and what we were looking at. The food was also great.
