"We chose the 8-hour charter and paid extra for a catered seafood lunch, which was delicious. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and a great crew to ensure a very relaxing day on the water. Everyone in the family agreed that this was one of our favorite memories from our first visit to Auckland. We will be back and hope to sail on Arcturus with Bruce again!"

– MaineSailorDude | TripAdvisor"We spent our first day in Auckland sailing Arcturus; a perfect way to enjoy our first day in NZ. The crew, Captain Bruce and Max, was extremely competent, friendly and willing to discuss / educate our family on sailing a classic beautifully restored 1930 Alden sloop. A fun time was had by all. Bring layered clothing and waterproofs for inclement weather and enjoy what ever nature brings."
