With 15,000 kilometres of magnificent and partly unspoilt coastline, sheltered bays, small islands and harbours, New Zealand offers everything for a perfect sailing holiday.
Visit the glaciers, one of the volcanoes or relax on one of the most beautiful beaches on New Zealand's coastline. There are numerous bays around the coast, perfect for mooring up in the evening or just in between. The unique nature, subtropical evergreen forests, exciting evidence of Maori culture and beautiful bays and islands compensate for the travel effort.
Where you sail is up to you. You are spoilt for choice. Marine reserves are great places to sail, such as the Bay of Islands, the Hauraki Gulf or the Marlborough Sounds. Sheltered harbours and islands offer picturesque scenery before sailing into the open sea. There are also some beautiful sailing areas along the coasts where you can anchor in sheltered bays every evening. The east coast north of Auckland on the way to the Bay of Islands, Kerikeri Inlet or the fjord-like Whangaroa Harbour are great for leisurely cruising along the mainland.
