We had an incredible experience with Gourmet Sailing as part of our honeymoon in New Zealand. From the beginning of the planning/outreach process and through our trip the staff were incredible - responsive, attentive, helpful and just a joy to spend the day with. The sights were stunning, the food and wine were incredible and it was hands down our favorite day of our 2+ week trip. Absolutely worth every penny!
Last month, Gourmet Sailing assisted me in putting together a surprise harbour trip for my husband’s 70th birthday - he’s still talking about it and so are our guests, so a great success and all that I’d hoped it would be, and more!
The team made everyone so comfortable and relaxed, and the food was delicious. And the skipper manoeuvred the boat so expertly, I think we all forgot we were on the water! Sh’khinah was the perfect boat for a great few hours in the harbour with various spots to sit, dance, chat, and enjoy the view back towards the city. Would highly recommend Gourmet Sailing as a fantastic option to mark a special occasion.
This was the most awesome experience. The team were incredible, food was spectacular, and the team of Ruby, Andy and Michelle were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this for either a day or overnight voyage. Seriously well worth it.
We spent a very relaxing and enjoyable afternoon on the Sh’khinah, touring Nelson harbour. It was just wonderful. Milo and Sophie were excellent hosts and their efforts made the cruise that little bit extra special. The children loved the Easter Egg hunt on Haulashore island, Sophie did an amazing job as the Easter Bunny! The whole experience from booking the excursion to the actual day was easy and efficient, Milo gets 5 stars for his customer service skills.....equalling his sailing talents! He personalised the trip to suit us and was very flexible with our requirements. A very special day that we will all remember!
Spent two days and a night aboard the yacht Sh'khinah visiting Abel Tasman. Had the most amazing time, the vessel was very comfortable and well laid out. Milo the skipper is extremely knowledgable and showed us around the area and even taught us a thing or two about sailing! The food was AMAZING! We had Texan rubbed beef fillet, home made lemon meringue pies and locally grown salmon marinated in genuine Canadian maple syrup, smoked by a real live Canadian bloke on deck in front of our eyes! Without being able to go on an overseas trip due to covid, we decided to sample something we have available locally. The only thing we regret is not booking to stay away for a week!!!
Thanks so much for your review. We really enjoyed hosting you and showing off this beautiful area
Wonderful experience! We had a white dress themed work do and the gourmet crew took care of us amazingly. Created such a nice atmosphere matching to our theme. Hand towel and mocktail on arrival - Perfect. We handed them all our food and they prepared and served to us on platters. Best hassle free cruise with lovely hosts. Thanks again GS Team
