Exclusive Sailing Charter from Waiheke Island

Embark on a unique sailing adventure aboard the 41-foot catamaran, Pacific Star, departing daily from Waiheke Island. This journey through the outer Hauraki Gulf offers you exclusive use of the yacht, accommodating you and up to 11 guests, along with the expertise of two dedicated crew members, including the captain and host.

As the Pacific Star cuts through the blue waters, you can engage directly with the elements, learning to sail under the guidance of Skipper Bruce. Whether taking the helm or helping to trim the sails, each guest is invited to partake in the true essence of sailing.

The tour includes a stop at a pest-free island, where a guided walk unveils the delicate ecosystem preserved there. Here, the absence of pests allows native flora and fauna to thrive, providing a rare glimpse into New Zealand’s natural heritage. Beyond exploring on foot, the island visit offers a chance for swimming, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding in the clear surrounding waters.

Further enriching the experience, our guide will share insights into the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. This expansive marine area is home to diverse wildlife, including frequent sightings of seabirds and occasional glimpses of dolphins or even whales. These moments, where marine life appears alongside our vessel, highlight the ecological significance of the Gulf and the importance of conservation efforts.

Each sailing is tailored to the day’s weather and wind conditions, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all onboard. This approach not only respects the natural elements but also enhances the overall journey, making each trip distinct and responsive to the environment.

Join us on the Pacific Star for a genuine sailing experience that combines relaxation, education, and direct interaction with New Zealand's beautiful coastal environment.
