Reviews
"Always fun to get out on the water with whale watching (saw lots of dolphins but no other whales) but this had the added benefit of seeing the islands surrounding the Auckland Harbor. The tour we did was 4-hours which was quite the commitment with a 5-year-old but the staff did a stellar job of providing the kids with fun stuff to do. The food on the ship was pretty limited but we made it work. The alcohol on the other hand was great with lots of local selections."
"I highly recommend taking the race sailing excursion on the Auckland Harbor. The crew does a great job of including you in the sailing and teaching you about race sailing history. The views are terrific. It is an incredible way to see the city and its surroundings."
"Highly recommend their America’s Cup Experience, an extremely rare and absolutely dope opportunity to get on an actual retired racing sailboat. The ride is educational yet very fun, staff are professional, funny, and helpful."
"Great experience sailing in the harbor! Beautiful views and action! The skipper and crew gives as a chance to experience how is it working on a sailing boat, and there was time for everyone to try and steer the boat. Great feeling passing under the bridge! I would say that’s just a bit pricey."
"Did the dinner cruise on Defiance yacht. Jessie and his two crew really looked after us. Drinks and canapes to start with followed by a lovely fish meal and Coffee brulee to finish. Weather was perfect, slight wind, still warm as sun had not set. Just sailed around the harbour for 2 hours taking in the sights. Would recommend if the weather is fine."
