A week through the islands of New Zealand’s north, from the sub-tropical Bay of Islands down to the Hauraki Gulf and Auckland, a cruising ground of forested isles, marine reserves and vineyard islands. This is a gentle, green corner of the country, sheltered coves and white beaches, world-class diving and Mediterranean-style island life. Expect 144 islands and protected reserves, dolphins and gannets, an easy and beautiful voyage.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
