Michelle – New Zealand

Such an incredible way to see the Abel Tasman. Enjoyed the hour on the beach at anchorage for lunch with a little wander around. Great skipper and comfortable catamaran.

Andrew – New Zealand

A fantastic day afloat with some really good sailing in the afternoon. Skipper Marco and first mate Hannah were great hosts for the day and ensured everyone had a great view of the Able Tasman park from the sea along with closeup with seals and native birds at Adele Island. The tours also takes in the iconic Split Rock and today with the very high tide we even had an up river sojourn into Torrent bay. Good lunch at the gorgeous Anchorage with pristine white sand and crystal clear water for swimming. For sailors like us this was a great trip to enjoy sailing in this beautiful part of the world.

Highlights

  • Experience some great scenic sailing through the Abel Tasman National Park

Modern, comfortable boat. Excellent crew. Beautiful cruise. And even on a day when there was no wind and we couldn't sail we had a great time.
