About this activity

Our morning trip departs Flaxmill Bay at 9:15am returning at 12:45pm.

FINAL CHECK IN TIME 9am

Sail around the beautiful coastline on our large sailing catamaran and visit local iconic locations, including the spectacular Cathedral Cove. Once we set anchor, either relax on the boat or have a swim or snorkel in the marine reserve with the amazing fish life (swim is optional).

The trip includes freshly brewed coffee, chilled orange juice and a baked snack.

Every trip is different. Help to sail or sit back on our comfy beanbags, soak up the scenery and relax. Our vessels have toilets and changing areas on board.

We only take small groups, accompanied by a skipper and a crew. Using wind power as opposed to engines and fuel allows us to take guests out with minimal impact on the environment.

Itinerary

  1. Cathedral Cove Walk

    Cathedral Cove is an iconic 'must-see' site on the Coromandel coast. The best way to explore this breathtaking coastline is by boat. We'll take you close to capture the beauty of this archway upclose from the yacht. We do not go ashore.

  2. Mercury Bay

    The best place to sail in New Zealand. Kick back on our spacious catamaran and soak up the scenery as we sail by rugged islands, remote coastline, and stunning beaches, including the spectacular Cathedral Cove.

  3. Gemstone Bay

    15 min Admission included

    If time allows we anchor at Gemstone Bay for a swim or snorkel in the marine reserve. The reserve is a sanctuary for marine life, as no fishing is allowed here. Please note, the swim and snorkel is optional. If you prefer, you can relax onboard the boat.
