Bay of Islands, New Zealand | Small Ship cruise
7 Nights | 250nm | Join the cruise | from NZD$3,800
Set off on a 7-night luxury motor yacht adventure, exploring the stunning Bay of Islands and New Zealand’s northern coastline. With over 140 subtropical islands, this region is a haven of sheltered bays, untouched beaches, and abundant marine life, offering the perfect mix of exploration, relaxation, and cultural discovery.
Each day brings a new course and a new experience, with idyllic anchorages carefully selected based on weather and comfort. Explore the historic town of Russell, once a thriving whaling port, and wander through lush native forests filled with birdlife. Unwind on calm, sandy beaches, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, or try your luck with big-game fishing in the rich coastal waters. Enjoy kayaking through hidden coves, take scenic hikes with panoramic coastal views, or simply relax onboard with a book and a glass of wine as the yacht gently sways at anchor. Spend evenings savouring freshly prepared seafood, watching breathtaking sunsets, and soaking in the peaceful rhythm of life at sea.
For those seeking adventure, dive into marine sanctuaries teeming with wildlife, paddle board in serene lagoons, or explore remote islands rich in Māori history. If relaxation is the goal, stretch out on the sun deck, enjoy a lazy afternoon of reading, or take a refreshing swim off the stern of the yacht. This expedition is a seamless blend of cruising, discovery, and tranquillity, offering an unforgettable escape into one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking maritime landscapes. Whether you crave adventure or pure relaxation, this journey is a rare opportunity to connect with nature and the sea in complete comfort.
