These are the kind of booking enquiries we love to receive:
"18 months ago I met a couple in Abel Tasman who said the highlight of their travels in NZ was their sailing with you. I have had your name on a 'post it' that has faded and been replaced whilst I wait to have a trip up to Bay Of Islands... Is there any chance 4 of us could join you for some sailing in January?"
Thank you Clarice, we would love to have you all aboard!
