Phantom Sailing Bay of Islands

We sail through the beautiful Bay of Islands to an island stop where guests can go ashore for a hour to hike for incredible views of the bay and the 144 islands. Swim, snorkel or just relax on board while we prepare a fabulous home-made lunch. Enjoy beautiful scenery, beautiful beaches, friendly atmosphere and great conversation then enjoy a great afternoon sail back to Russell all while learning the history of the Bay from a local New Zealander. You hosts, Rick and Robin, share their knowledge of the area and passion for sailing and are happy to give any sailing instruction and show how their fantastic yacht handles. Phantom has a very special pedigree and no sailing experience is necessary for coming aboard! We will see native sea birds - penguins, gannets, shearwaters and may get a lucky visit form the local dolphins of the occasional orca.
