We are pleased to announce that Southern Wanderer has changed vessel. Our yacht, Harbour Sail, arrived back two days ago from Lyttelton Harbour after undergoing winter maintenance.

Excited for the upcoming season and new adventures ahead! ⛵

Every day is different. We share the pontoon with this little pied s**g almost every day but yesterday a leopard seal claimed it… and then swam past us later on the cruise.
