The Afternoon Charter
The best evening cruise in the Bay of Islands
The most spectacular time of day
Step aboard our fully equipped sailing yacht for the ultimate in comfort and relaxation on a Bay of Islands afternoon cruise. Departing Russell Wharf at 4 PM, this private sunset sail is the perfect way to experience the Bay at its most spectacular time of day.
Set against the historic backdrop of Russell township and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, we’ll spend a few unhurried hours gliding across sheltered waters of the Bay of Islands. You’re welcome to take the helm, help hoist the sails, or simply stretch out on our giant beanbag with a glass of wine in hand. Whether you’re after adventure or pure relaxation, our evening yacht charter offers the best of both worlds.
