Wonderful Private Sailing Charter Bay of Islands

Jennifer_H, Dec 2025

This sailing charter was a huge highlight of our trip. Magnus and Adam were great and even though we had some cloudy weather .. we saw the whole Bay, penguins , dolphins and tons of birds . Even caught a fish and chef Adam made the best fresh sashimi for us … a real treat. Magnus was very knowledgeable about the islands and the history. A fantastic charter that we would highly recommend!! A must do in the Bay of Islands !!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Jennifer! We’re thrilled to hear that your sailing charter was a highlight of your trip. Cloudy skies or not, it sounds like the Bay of Islands delivered—and we’re glad Magnus and Adam could help make the experience unforgettable. Spotting penguins, dolphins, and all that incredible birdlife is always special, and we love that you were able to reel in a fish and enjoy Adam’s fresh sashimi right on board! Magnus will be delighted to hear that his knowledge of the islands added to your adventure. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so happy you had a fantastic time with us. We’d love to welcome you back for another sail in the Bay anytime!
