Give them a day they'll actually remember.

Not another candle. Not another gadget. A day on the water in the Bay of Islands — sails up, feet up, nothing to do but be there.

The best gift isn’t a thing. It’s a feeling.

Picture the person you’re buying for.

Now picture them out on the water with us — the Bay stretching out in every direction, islands dotted across the blue, the boat easing gently into the breeze. Maybe they’re up on the bow with a cold drink. Maybe they’ve just jumped off the back for a swim in water so clear they can see their feet. Maybe they’re just sitting quietly, watching the coast slide past, letting a whole year of noise fall off their shoulders.

That’s what you’re giving them.

They can use it however suits them. Our Island Hopper day cruise is the full experience — a proper day out, island stops, swimming, picnic lunch. Our Sundowner evening sail is a slower, softer cruise — a great way to end the day, glass in hand, the Bay lit up all golden. And for the big occasions — anniversaries, milestone birthdays, family reunions — there’s the private charter option, including our Lagoon Bay Cruise.

Couples. Families. Groups of mates. Someone travelling solo who just needs a reset. It works for all of them.

Physical gifts get unwrapped, admired for a week, and end up in a drawer. An experience gets talked about for years. You’re not giving them stuff. You’re giving them a story.


How Gift a Sail works

  1. Choose a dollar value. Pick from $100, $200, $250, $500 or enter any custom amount that suits. Because the voucher is a dollar value — not a fixed ticket — it holds its worth for the full redemption window.
  2. We deliver it, your way. Send it straight to their inbox as a digital voucher, or print it out as a proper gift card to hand over in person. Your call.
  3. They redeem it within 3 years. Against any of our cruises — Island Hopper, Sundowner, or a private charter. Plenty of time to find the right date, the right weather, the right crew.
  4. If the cruise costs more than the voucher, they just pay the difference. Simple as that. No fine print, no expired-value surprises.
