Private Luxury Sailing Catamaran Charter in the Bay of Islands

My husband and I had a private cruise on a beautiful catamaran in the Bay of Islands We were in the very capable hands of skipper Pete and his mate Brendon who whipped up the most delicious lunch . We stopped at two islands to hike and get views and the rest of the time we spent at leisure taking in the beauty of this magnicent scenery on board . It was a beautiful day and the weather obliged too . Truly a day not to forget ! Thank you to you both for a wonderful experience !

This sailing charter was a huge highlight of our trip. Magnus and Adam were great and even though we had some cloudy weather .. we saw the whole Bay, penguins , dolphins and tons of birds . Even caught a fish and chef Adam made the best fresh sashimi for us … a real treat. Magnus was very knowledgeable about the islands and the history. A fantastic charter that we would highly recommend!! A must do in the Bay of Islands !!

From the moment we stepped onboard we knew we were in for a fun day. Things we enjoyed the most - 1) Learning more about the beautiful Bay of Islands and its history. 2) Cruising along the sea in the beautiful dual masted catamaran watching the scenery go by. 3) The hospitality , both in terms of food and drink and the friendliness of the skipper and crew. 4) The encouragement I received to take a paddle board out for the first time ever. So glad I gave it a go! Would definitely book Silver Wave again , either a days cruising or a longer trip. Thanks guys !

Loved everything about this special day which was quite a splurge for us for some milestone birthdays! Had a beautiful afternoon and sunset sail with Thomas and Jared who took great care of us in every way. Definitely highly recommend Silver Wave!!

We had the best experience! Scott and his team's knowledge, attention to detail and service were exceptional. He had everything we needed on board. The catamaran was stunning and well looked after. We felt so spoilt with their level of care. Our day was well beyond my expectations. Couldn't fault a single thing. Highly recommend!!

The boat is the best catamaran I on which I have ever sailed. Very well designed. The trip with Captain Scott and Tyra was excellent. We loved the walks, kayaking and paddleboards. Tyra the chef prepared our meals. She was an over the moon great chef! Scott an exceptional captain with high level of experience. Staterooms were perfect. Go on this trip.
