Ironman 70:3 World Championship is in Taupo and town is humming with all the athletes getting settled in. They have been supporting local businesses which Taupo really appreciates. Can’t wait for the weekend, now it’s our turn to support the athletes from the sidelines.

Did you know there are little carvings beside the main carving. Book a trip and come and have a look for yourself.

Here she comes, Barbary II returning from another wonderful trip to the local Maori Rock Carvings. Beautiful day for it.

Mr and Mrs Duck ‘cadged’ a free ride aboard our boat recently. Hopefully they didn’t leave a deposit when they left 😄

Our most popular trip is our evening sail. It departs at 5.00pm and you get to enjoy a drink of wine, beer or cider. Swimming is also an option.

If you’re a keen sailor then have a chat to the Skipper about helping out. Here is an English customer on her honeymoon looking very much the ‘pro’.

Are you looking for something to do with the whole family these school holidays?
Why don’t you try sailing with some ‘flying’ moments at the bow.
We are eco friendly so guaranteed to keep the planet conscious kids very happy.

It includes hot drinks and biscuits 🍪

It’s a perfect time of the year to experience a sunny sail on Lake Taupo and view majestic snow capped mountains.

Did you know that you can give sailing a go on our boat? Just talk to the Skipper. If you’re an experienced sailor then maybe we will let you be in charge of the boat like this visitor from Scandinavia.

Pulling out from Berth 9, Taupo Boat Harbour.

How do you find us? Google Sail Barbary. Our Berth numbers 9&10 are for finding us in the Boat Harbour they are not letterbox numbers. Look for the flag in the photo. We are across the road from Stir cafe.

The couple on the right have sailed with us four times now. They love so much they brought their friend along to enjoy the experience with them.

29/03/2024

Our sailing experience provides our guests with joyful moments that they will take with them through hard times in the future.

A taste of sailing on Lake Taupo. Peaceful and quiet except for natural sounds.

We love returning customers but these ones took 27 years to do it. They first trip they did was with Barbary Bill the second was with Skipper Chris. Let’s hope they don’t take another 27 years before they do it again 😂

We specialise in small group trips to visit the Maori Rock Carvings. We only take 18-21 people on each trip. To avoid disappointment please book in advance.
