Hector's
Dolphins alongside Manutara
|
You’ll be
in ‘Wild’' Company
Look out for the rare Hector’s dolphins (the
world’s smallest) or spot the white flippered penguins bobbing
across the waves. See Akaroa wildlife up close.
Most often you’ll
be surprised to hear penguins calling to each other and dolphins
breathing BEFORE you see them! Sea life is drawn to play in the
pressure wave created by the unique shape of Manutara’s
hull, and the silence as she glides through the water under
sail alone. Enjoy an encounter with wildlife, on their terms,
without disrupting their environment.

You'll thrill to be in control on the helm, when the wind
pipes up and the leeward rail's in the water with the bow wave
hissing in front. This cruise suits people of all experiences
and abilities. Don't want to get involved? No worries! Just relax
in the 'Royal Seats' and watch.

 "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !!!! From the moment
I booked our sailing trip on-line to finishing the sail around beautiful
Akaroa Bay, everthing was fantastic. Ray (the Skipper) and his
wife, couldn't have offered any higher level of service. It shows
when someone loves what they do and is passionate about it -
Ray is one of those guys. His superbly maintained boat and the
fact that gets everyone involved in the moment, makes the day.
I've travelled around the world many times but this was one of
the best days I've been one. I'll definately be back for another
sail. Congratulations to you and your wife. Regards, Adam
Watson, Sydney Australia" (Sailed 4th October 2009)
It's an Adventure Cruise on Manutara, a Classic Yacht,
designed in 1946 by Jock Muir from Tasmania, built in Auckland
by Salthouse Bros. |
