We had a great day. Marco and Claudia were superb hosts, relaxed, welcoming, informative and great fun. Such beautiful surroundings. Would definitely do this again.

Very enjoyable day with excellent crew. Claudia who looked after everyone was superb whilst Inky the sailing master and skipper was also excellent.

Excellent full day excursion on well equipped spacious catamaran with friendly, personable and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.

We booked the trip where you sail up the coast and then walk back. We were blessed with clear skies and warm weather. While there wasn’t enough breeze to go fully under sail, it was still an amazing journey up the coast and past two sanctuary islands where there was bird song and seals. The walk back was beautiful — winding along streams and with access to several gorgeous beaches. When we got to the end point, there was a fantastic restaurant and a much-deserved local beer. We enjoyed it so much that the next day we did the full day sail. The morning was a little different, owing to variations in timing and wind. We had so much fun jumping off the boat into the water to swim and relaxing when we went (gently) under sail for portions of the return trip. This time we got the lunch which was just serviceable but I really didn’t mind, given the pleasure of the location!

Overall a great day sailing/motoring on the sea with captain Inki & Claudia exploring the coast of Abel Tasmen park. The weather was perfect and the stop at anchorage beach was awesome! The only thing we would recommend is to improve the lunch options as it really was marginal at best. We only ate half of the wrap. Plus why not put in a bag of crisps instead of charging for them? Thanks again Paul&Ellen

The Full Day Sailing Adventure in the Abel Tasman National Park was an unforgettable experience! The stunning scenery—golden beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery—was enhanced by perfect weather and a skilled, knowledgeable crew who shared fascinating insights about the park. The highlight was sailing into the serene mouth of the Torrent River, a magical moment surrounded by towering cliffs that made this trip truly special—I’d highly recommend it to anyone!

A totally amazing day! Gorgeous blue skies and stunning scenery. Marco and Claudia looked after us throughout the whole trip, we saw baby fur seals and enjoyed a delicious picnic lunch on the beach. The boat was plenty big enough for everyone to be seated comfortably and move about if they wished. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wanted a relaxing way to see this wonderful national park.

boat ride was good and we saw seals. crew was knowledgeable. but why charge the passengers for the potatoes chips packs and put them together with the free cookies - that was just annoying $4NZD. The walk back was nice, the 12km was just enough for us.

Marco and Taylor were amazing. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. They were engaging, humurous and both obviously very accomplished sailors. And the spinnaker was the cherry on top

The crew made the day, they were very knowledgeable and just made the day fun. A full day sail on a very stable catamaran in a rolling sea. Lunch and a swim. Were shorts as boarding is off the beach.

Had an amazing day on the water with Claudia and Inky! My first time sailing was an adventure I won’t soon forget! The lunch was very good and the views were amazing. Would definitely recommend for a fun day trip!

Awesome crew ! Thanks for everything We saw seals, pool was open and the walk back was amazing Thanks to the captain and his colleague !

The trip was efficiently organised and we thoroughly enjoyed the catamaran trip to Anchorage Bay. Walk back, especially the first section, was more strenuous than expected. We were surprised to find that some in our trip were taking the catamaran both ways. We had not seen this option advertised, so perhaps offering this option in the advertised trip would be good.

A lovely leisurely sail in the Abel Tasman. From the pick up at the car park to boarding the catamaran, everything was well organised. the sailing conditions were perfect and the friendly crew made it a fantastic few hours until we were dropped off at Anchorage beach for our hike back. Whilst the hike back through the national park was wonderful at the time we both wished we could of just sailed backed and enjoyed the views and weather

I had an amazing day sailing. I had to change my plans at the last minute because my husband wasn't feeling well, so I had to cancel the morning Kayaking portion of the excursion. Abel Tasman Sailing arranged a water taxi for me to meet up with the boat. They provided a lovely lunch, tea, cookies and snacks in their beautiful catamaran. I highly recommend them.
