Mako was our Captain/tour guide for the day!
He made our experience awesome, very informative but made it fun & interesting.
High recommend sail adventures great team to work with from booking & deciding which trip to go on. Great for people of all ages. My 83 yr old Mother was able to manage getting one & off & walking around the catamaran with no problems.
Thanks again.

My husband and I did the full-day sail -- a delightful, memorable experience and a highlight of our month holiday-ing in NZ. The catamaran was modern and "pristine clean", departure organized and on time. We were blessed with a sunny blue-bird sky. Weather wasn't 'swimmingly hot' so we were glad of cozy blankets they made available. There is simply nothing sweeter than being under sail, sitting on the front deck perch with the wind on your face, and watching emerald waters skim by!! Heaven. Scenery and deserted beaches along the way - epic. The Skipper (Mark) was highly experienced and capable and conscientious. His assistant crew gal (Claudia) was committed to making our experience positive, funny as heck, and authentically engaged with us - we immediately loved her and her stories. One small note -- set expectations with respect to what wildlife you'll see - you might see a lot, or you might not! Certainly no reflection of the folks running the trip.

We had a great day out on the full day sailing adventure, in fantastic weather. Mark and Claudia, our crew, provided lots of interesting info on the National Park, the local flora & fauna etc., in a relaxed, fun style. We were lucky to see not just lots of fur seals and some blue penguins (difficult to spot), but a pod of about 50 dolphins, who played around the yacht for for c 30 mins - twice! Highly recommend.

Excellent crew. Emphasis on relax & enjoy. Talks were short but they knew the stuff and would answer if asked. Great boat not too crowded. I did get sea sick. But they made me comfortable and let me sleep it off.

It was an amazing experience on a clean and comfortable catamaran.
We watched Splitted Apple rock, saw seals and baby seals, had lunch at the beautiful Anchorage bay. I even had time, for a short walk to Te Pukatea bay in lunch time. The lunch was delicious sandwich, soft cakes and apple.
Captain Nik and his help Claudia were super attentive and helpful, providing many information regarding the national park, animal life, sailing. We even had the opportunity to drive the catamaran.
Thank you Captain Nik and Claudia to make this day so memorable for us!

Truly amazing day wonderful experience, superb captain and Joseph were very friendly, knowledgeable and answered everyone’s questions. Beach drop off at Anchorage Bay for lunch was very enjoyable.the chance to take the tiller for 15 minutes was a great experience. Would recommend to anyone visiting Nelson as it is only hour car journey.

Great day out sailing along the Abel Tasman coastline with informative commentary from the crew as appropriate. Stopped for an hour and ate lunch on a lovely quiet beach. It was fairly windy out at sea so was exciting at times. Crew were very knowledgeable & happy to answer questions. We covered quite a long distance.

My husband and I had a beautiful sail in a very clean and comfortable catamaran. From the water, the National Park is a pretty series of coves and bays. Captain Mark and first mate Claudia were friendly and eager to make sure we had an optimal experience. The bag lunch included a delicious fresh sandwich, fruit, and two desserts. We would highly recommend this cruise.

After walking the coastal track this was a great way to see the park from the water. We enjoyed seal spotting on Adele Island and caught brief glimpses of dolphins. The wind picked up in the afternoon so we could sail properly and appreciate what a great boat this is. Thanks to all the team and Mark our skipper for giving us a day to remember.
