Make that special day extra special with a private tour of the Bay of Islands on Freewind
A romantic overnight trip for 2 on Freewind with a night in a secluded anchorage; watch the sunset from the deck, wake up to the gentle rock of the boat at anchor… plus great food and a day of sailing, fun and water activities.
A great gift for Honeymoon couples.

Longer duration tours - a real experience of life on board, venturing beyond the Bay of Islands
On a 3-day (2-night) trip we can take you to those less accessible spots in the Bay of Islands and on longer trips we will venture beyond the Bay, to neighbouring harbours such as Wangaroa Harbour or the old whaling station at Wangamumu harbour. The options are numerous, all depending on your preferences and, of course, the prevailing wind.
Ron will plan the itinerary and activities according to your requirements.
