Fantastic sailing experience on a perfect afternoon for it. Noel and Rebecca were great as the crew.
Fantastic sailing experience on a perfect afternoon for it. Noel and Rebecca were great as the crew. We were able to steer the boat, check out the bungee jumpers under the harbour bridge and get some great pics of Auckland and Devonport from the water. Highly recommend this experience. Many thanks.
