Hi everyone!! Here's a fun thing for the weekend!! Competition time!! We've not done one of these before, but we're excited to give away the first of our Merchadise Packages. This includes one of our Fiordland Historic Cruises Tee Shirts, Cap or Beanie, Key Ring, and 3 of our Fridge Magnets. We're very excited to send this to where ever you are in the world, whether you've cruised with us before or not.

What you have to do: guess when we will next have to fill up Faith. Have a listen to the video for details, but it's important to know that this video was filmed on the 12th of September, just to keep you on your toes :-)

Hope you're having a lovely start to your weekend - thanks for joining in!! Remember that you're most welcome to share our posts, especially to friends you you think might enjoy what we do.

Oh this view….roll on summer!!

We’re super excited to hear that the Hump Ridge Track is also now a great walk of NZ. Looking for an amazing hiking experience check this one out!

A multimillion-dollar upgrade of the Hump Ridge Track in western Southland has ensured it will officially become New Zealand’s 11th Great Walk in October.

We pride ourselves in allowing safe access to the engine room during our cruises, allowing passengers to see our 1955 6L3 Gardner engine at work. We’ve been very fortunate to have Alan’s maintenance guidance in recent months, and couldn’t be happier with the results he’s achieved. His passion for our engine is evident, and we’re doing all we can to learn what he has to share. This is a true measure of a persons enthusiasm - to be retired, but still happy to share what they know in such a hands on manner. In a world where everything is computer driven and analysed, we’re very grateful for the years of experience that Allan has had learning the trade of keeping this special machinery running. Injector overhaul, and tappet clearance inspection for this check, and she’s running sweeter than we’ve heard in a long time. Very exciting!! It makes us feel like we’re caring for her in the very best way - it’s a very rewarding feeling ♥️♥️ #gardnerengine #faithinfiordland #fiordlandhistoriccruises #boatengines

It’s lovely to see our local primary school putting on another successful Polar Plunge. We were delighted to be invited back with Faith, but as we’re still working away on winter maintenance we had to make the tough decision to leave her at the wharf, and decided instead to bring our little sailing tender and get in the spirit of the event!! We love our community, and days like this highlight just what a special bunch of people we have here in Te Anau.

Hi everyone!! It’s winter maintenance time, and we’re making progress. For those of you who have noticed soft timber on the port side for Faith foredeck - it’s all gone, and replacement timber is being spliced in. We’ll be sure to give you a proper video update soon, but here’s a little reminder of the love and care we have for our special motor yacht. For some tasks, nothing beats a hand plane for shaping, especially on a cold day 🙂Thank you all for your support this season, to make this a possibility ♥️♥️ #classicwoodenboats #faithinfiordland #fiordlandhistoriccruises #woodenboats #historicboats

Scenic cruises on Lake Te Anau

Step aboard a boat with real history and sail amongst towering mountains, guided by crew who care.

Faith is a 19.7 metre (64.6 foot), wooden motor-sailer, built in 1935 in Scotland. She served in WW2, hosted Sir Winston Churchill, has sailed all over the world and now calls Lake Te Anau and Fiordland National Park her home. There’s no other boat like her in New Zealand and no better way to experience the grandeur of this famous World Heritage Area.

16 guests (maximum) relax on board, or 24 for private charters. You are treated to personalised commentary (no pre-recorded loudspeakers here!) with heartfelt hospitality, complimentary canapés and chilled refreshments.

Over 200 5-star TripAdvisor reviews make us blush with words like magical, superb, and amazing. Time and again our guests refer their friends and family to come sailing with us. Locals book Faith for celebrations and wedding photographs. Visitors marvel at the enveloping silence of the South Fiord and the unspoilt beauty of the Hidden Lakes.
