In Auckland, known as the "City of a Thousand Sails," the most stunning scenery lies on the blue waters of Waitematā Harbour. Board AJ Hackett's exclusive luxury sailing yacht for a 1.5‑hour wind‑chasing journey, where the sea is your mirror and the sails are your wings. Soak in the city’s magnificent views amidst gentle breezes, unlock Auckland’s most relaxing waterfront moments, and create your own unforgettable harbour memories.

This journey requires no rush — just relax and immerse yourself in Auckland’s unique landscape and urban charm as you sail at a leisurely pace. The yacht will slowly glide past the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge, known as the "steel coat hanger," which spans across the sea in perfect harmony with the clear waters. Viewing it from the water offers a deeper appreciation of its engineering beauty and grandeur. Along the way, glimpse the silhouettes of volcanic peaks and take in the stunning city skyline, where high‑rises and sea views intertwine, nature and urban life collide, and every scene is mesmerising.

We have prepared a bespoke 50‑foot luxury yacht for you, accompanied by friendly and knowledgeable crew members to ensure every voyage is filled with comfort and joy. You can choose to lounge lazily on the deck, let the sea breeze clear your mind, and sweep away all fatigue; or you can join the crew, learn some sailing tips, and actively take part in hoisting the sails and steering, experiencing the allure of sailing first‑hand for a unique adventure.

During the voyage, we thoughtfully prepare fresh coffee, warm tea, rich hot chocolate, and exquisite desserts, allowing you to enjoy a slow afternoon in the sea breeze and warm sunshine. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or with friends, you’ll find your own share of relaxation and delight on these blue waters, making every moment feel special.

From the Harbour Bridge to the city skyline, from the sea breeze on your face to delightful treats by your side, this 1.5‑hour sailing yacht tour captures Auckland’s coastal romance. No need for meticulous planning or elaborate preparation — just board the luxury yacht, chase the wind and waves, take in the city’s highlights from the water, and experience the unique charm of the "City of a Thousand Sails." Every glance back will be a beautiful encounter with Auckland.
