Overview

Hop aboard Vigilant and enjoy a beautiful day sailing in the Bay of Islands. We only take 10 passengers, the small group allows you to lounge on the yacht comfortably and enjoy the islands privately. Our skipper lives here in Russell and knows plenty about it's history which they will be happy to share with you. Vigilant is a beautiful traditional 42 ft Cutter rig yacht with a wineglass transom, teak decks, and a swamp kauri wooden interior. Enjoy an adventure away from the crowds of sightseers. Here, you can steer your own experience by helping the skipper at the helm, hoisting the sails or, if you prefer, just relaxing on deck while you journey from island to island.

The Perfect Day

Published on Feb, 2025

The experience is amazing- Captain Nat not only knew how to find the best beach, site penguins and sharks and share the helm but also Chef Anita made the perfect wrap! The boat is very comfortable and plenty of kayaks, snorkels etc for water sports. I have sailed many times around the Bay of Islands and can’t remember a better experience!
