Exclusive Charters
 
 


Day sails are usually from 10.30am to 4.00pm.
Our day's itinerary is planned to take the best advantage of the wind and tides. There are no marinas on Waiheke, so we may embark from the Matiatia ferry terminal, or off Palm Beach, Ostend or other convenient landing place.

You're invited to help hoist and trim the sails, ask questions, study the chart, learn about sailing, navigating and seamanship. Look out for seabirds and dolphins - or  just sit back and enjoy the clean, silent power of the wind working it's magic. An hour or two's sail brings us to a sheltered anchorage to enjoy a 3 course lunch from our fantastic seasonal menu.

Take a swim, try snorkeling, row ashore in the dinghy or kayak. Go beachcombing, hike up the nearest hill for splendid views, or stay aboard and lounge on deck or below.
