Milo and the crew at Gourmet Sailing delivered a phenomenal experience for our family. They go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful experience. I hope we are fortunate enough to sail with Milo again sometime in the future.

Gourmet Sailing was a 5 star hotel at sea. Milo and his staff personalized our sailing adventure to meet our needs. We had lunch on the beach, shared hot chocolate with the locals at our overnight stay, a personal tour of a glow worm cave, a boat ride to walk across the suspension bridge and we had a fresh glass of water from a natural spring. Milo spotted all of the sea life for us. The food was outstanding! The service was outstanding! The experience was outstanding! I would highly recommend sailing with this crew. Thank you for taking such good care of us!

Wanted to surprise my staff with a special thank you for thier effort during the year. Milo and his crew excelled and the experience was better than we could have imagined. From the meet and greet, to safety brief, food, beverage and service we could not fault a thing. It will be a memory that we will hold dear for a very long time. Can not recommend a trip with Gourmet Sailing enough - not to be missed.

We used Gourmet Sailing as venue for our Christmas party and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything was worldclass, from my first point of contact with Milo, through the planning stages and the actual event.
I was in charge of organising this year's Christmas function for a group of ten and Milo made it so easy to get everything set up and finalised with minimum input from me. Special dietary requirements - no problem; pick up and drop off from the airport - no problem; best day ever - done!
Milo and his crew were absolutely fantastic. Very welcoming and super friendly! Service was superb and the crew was extremely knowledgable and courteous. Food was impeccable and I probably had one of the best steaks ever that will turn a vegan into a carnivore. Gourmet Sailing is an absolute 'must-do'! Put it on your bucket-list or you will regret it.

Had an amazing time!! Felt great to unplug and explore one of the most stunningly beautiful areas I've ever seen. The food was incredible, the boat felt like home, and Milo was the best guide we could possibly ask for. The trip felt personalized and unique, and it's tough not to be absolutely floored by waking up to dolphins every morning. I would definitely recommend gourmet sailing to anybody and everybody!!

We're so glad you felt the yacht was like home! Thank you for your feedback and recommendation. The Abel Tasman National Park truly is one of the most beautiful areas on earth, and it's an honour to share it with people like you.
