Great Escape Sailing School and Yacht Charter

We're passionate about boats and sailing. The Bay of Islands is one of the best cruising grounds in the world (Okay, we're biased) and we love to share it with you. For experienced sailors we offer a fleet of affordable, well maintained kiwi yachts from 20'-31'. Organise your own flotilla rally, or just sneak away by yourselves for a fantastic sailing holiday. For less experienced we offer sailing courses from two to six days. Our sailing courses are unique, you have a boat and an instructor to yourselves - so you get plenty of helm time and lots of tailored personalised instruction. The other very special thing we can offer new sailors is the chance to take a boat out for a few days by yourselves (after instruction).
