"We purchased this trip as present for my father in law, being an avid sailor. He can’t speak English, so I came along for the ride. I think I was more than impressed than he was! Very professional and friendly. Great info. Great day out!"

"It was a great fun adventure on the beautiful Auckland harbour. The crew were very friendly, had lots of knowledge and were keen to help out when required, being a hands on activity made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone."
