NZ Sailing Trust

Just had a most awesome day aboard Lion New Zealand.A group of around 25 of us went out to watch the first day of the Americas Cup - World Series race. The race highlight being the final race between American Magic and Team NZ. A very large TV was placed on the foredeck so we could watch the TV footage as well.However the real highlight was just being aboard this historical race boat - closely followed by an amazing Donut Dip which we had for afternoon tea.They are taking taking bookings for charters at the start of 2021 for groups to watch the Prada Cup, so worthwhile experience if you want to get close to the action on the water.Thanks Captain Charles, Evelien, Paul and all the crew for an excellent day out on the water!

great day out on the water watching the Americas cup world series

Brilliant afternoon of sailing aboard a historic vessel with a wonderful crew! Can't wait to get out there again!

We had a great time on the water with a one day sailing trip. The staff were super nice and approachable. The sailing experience is absolutely unforgettable.

My 3 days sailing trip on Steinlager 2 with NZ Sailing Trust was simply amazing. Crew was super professional and friendly. Highly recommended, unforgettable adventure!

I really enjoyed the Rum Race sailing experience with NZ Sailing Trust. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. You were given the option of contributing as much or as little as you wanted. Great fun and a fantastic opportunity to sail on such an iconic yacht.

Highly recommended for a day trip, particularly with upcoming America's Cup events. TV on board for racing commentary etc. Plenty of room on board to spread out. Bean bags on the forward deck are a nice touch. Both Steinlager and Lion are iconic yachts. Its a privilege to be on board.

Went Friday Night Rum racing with the NZ Sailing Trust on Steinlarger 2 - what a great crew and fun afternoon/evening we had. I throughly recommend this as an experience to all levels of sailors or those interested in learning. Fantastic to experience first hand such an iconic yacht - a very important part of NZ sailing history and the late Sir Peter Blake’s round the world endeavours !

Friday racing in 20 knots was awesome and we won. Great experience for my wife and me in our 70’s but you do have to hang on when it’s windy
