Embark on a sailing cruise from Flaxmill Bay, a tranquil cove nestled between Cooks Beach and Whitianga. Sail close past towering cliffs, idyllic beaches and the lush islands of Mercury Bay and Cathedral Cove. Kick back and relax on comfy beanbags and admire the picturesque scenery or take the opportunity to get your hands on the tiller and learn from our experienced sailing crew.
This experience suits all types; adventurers, nature-lovers or those seeking an escape from every day life. There is no better way to experience the beauty and elements of the Coromandel. This trip is wild enough to feel alive, safe enough to let go. Our professional skipper and crew ensures your safety and comfort on the journey.
What to expect?
Board our large, modern catamaran at Flaxmill Bay. Our crew will be waiting on the shoreline to greet you. After a short safety briefing, you will be transferred to our yacht anchored in the bay.
Our skipper and crew will set sail out to the calm waters of the bay. The magic of sailing is the gentle pace, the world becomes quieter as the wind fills the sails and life slows down. As you sail, absorb the natural landscapes, stunning beaches and rugged cliffs of the Coromandel with the help of your guide. Keep your cameras ready as you sail past the breath-taking Cathedral Cove. You will enjoy some complimentary snacks and drinks during the journey.
Once the boat sets anchor, if conditions are good, choose to swim or snorkel in the marine reserve with the wonderful sea life, or simply chill out on board and soak up the scenery. Please note: swim and snorkel are optional.
The tour concludes back at the starting point in Flaxmill Bay.
