Vigilant Yacht Charters Ltd

A beautiful day with Nat aboard her lovely ship! She made the best of the changing weather and we had a great time exploring the bay of islands. Would absolutely recommend!

Fun if you enjoy sailing - crew was nice and understanding when we had some trouble getting to the dock.They took us to a small island to swim/explore. Food was surprisingly really good!

I've already recommended this charter to anyone who will listen over the last few days! A group of friends and I all decided to book this as a nice new years activity, and it more than exceeded expectations. Nat was fantastic, the yacht was incredible and the experience was super easy going with BYO alcohol and plenty of fridge space to keep our drinks cold. We were taken to a beautiful island where we were provided with kayaks and snorkeling gear. We chilled on the beach and did a little track over the island and back, and then were provided a really yummy salad for lunch. Great value for money, and just an awesome experience overall! I will definitely be booking back in again soon :)

We had a great day of sailing with Vigilant today. Booking was easy & responsive with lots of communication. Nathalie the captain designed the day to our request to maximize sailing time. We did get to swim, kayak and have a nice healthy lunch. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Bay of Islands.

Absolutely fantastic day out! It was great to learn about the boat and sailing. The stop at the island was perfect and Nat had snorkel gear ready for us to go. Delicious lunch with veggies from their garden. Highly recommend!

I don't usually review all that much but this experience was pretty exceptional. Nik is knowledgeable, well travelled and certainly well-versed in sailing. We had a very chilled 2 hours of soaking up the Bay of Islands inner area. Felt totally at ease with Nik at the helm and he even gave us a go ourselves! What an elegant boat.

My husband and I chartered the Vigilant for the day for my husbands birthday. We had an outstanding day. Natalie was great, very friendly and keen to ensure we had a great time. We stopped at Roberton Island swam in the lagoon and did the short walk to the lookout which afforded magnificent views. We motored out as there was very little wind but then sailed all the way round the islands and back after a lovely lunch. It’s a beautiful boat and a great day out!

We all had a great day out on the Vigilant exploring Urupukapuka and the rest of the islands in the bay of islands! The weather wasn't exactly in our favour but despite the cloud cover, factor 30 and sporadic rain showers we all managed to get burnt by the sun!! Urupukapuka is a great island to explore and you can definitely get to Entico bay if not to the viewing point in time to return for lunch; which was amazing. We were all impressed with what you can cook on a yacht! Nick and nat were very friendly and keen to chat even while they were hauling lines and trimming to. Would definately recommend!! Standard boat rules, heads down, stay off the ropes/hatches.

A fantastic trip with a great crew. We had the opportunity to kayak, snorkel, walk around a beautiful island and even be taught how to sail. The whole group thoroughly enjoyed our trip on Vigilant. We were even lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins swimming right next to the boat! Nik and Nathalie were very friendly and provided lunch which catered for the numerous food allergies in our group and they also provided tea/coffee. I would highly recommend Vigilant Yacht Charters to everyone.

We had the best day out sailing (and chatting) with Nat! Beautiful weather, a great salad with fresh veges from their garden and we stopped for a swim and kayak at an amazing beach! It was a great way to see a lot at once, definitely recommend for while you’re in the Bay of Islands
