Thank you Robert.....yes wonderful sailing yesterday with perfect winds! Nga mihi Mike

A great day out.
We booked this day out as we wanted to experience the Bay of Islands in the way many NewZealanders do.... in a yacht. The Gungha 11 is a large and comfortable yacht, easy to board and exit. You get to see how a yacht functions and it's exilerating when it gets up speed. The skipper has been sailing the world all his life and is extremely knowledgable and safety conscious. Luck is very good, too. I can highly recommend this day out.

Thank you David We had a great group on the day and that is a big help also! All the best Mike

Amazing Day
My friend and I had an amazing day sailing with Mike and his crew. Mike is efficient and organised with a great sense of humour. He really turned the weather on for us and we saw dolphins and penguins. This is the second time I've sailed on Gungha II and I believe that this small group tour offers excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
