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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- If the cruise costs more than the voucher, they just pay the difference. Simple as that. No fine print, no expired-value surprises.
