Thanks Matthew! Glad you enjoyed your day out. We appreciate the review!
We had an amazing sailing trip! It’s about 5 and a half hours total. We got to snorkel for ~2 hours on one of the islands! It was beautiful and the crew were super lovely! Some dolphins came up to the boat and stayed with us for about 20mins. We saw heaps of fish and a couple of eagle rays too which was awesome! Highly recommend!
Nik and Nat were perfect hosts. Highly recommend.
What a great day on the water. Natalia and Anita were friendly, professional and accommodating. We motored and sailed depending on the winds, anchored in a sheltered location for a swim, kayak and skin diving and then went to another spot for a great lunch. The Bay of Islands is spectacular and this is a great way to see it. Vigilant is a great boat with enough room for the 10 guests on board. Highly recommend it.
We loved our day on the water with Nat and Nita! Beautiful boat, great knowledgeable crew, yummy lunch and nice stop on an island to explore. Highly recommend “The Vigilant”!
Thank you so much! What a sweet review, you we’re a pleasure to have on board.

We had a great day out sailing with Nat. There were plenty of things to do with kayaks and a walk over to another beach, then a delicious lunch on board. Vigilant is great way for anyone to see the Bay of Islands, and we'd highly recommend it.
