Cool Change: 2-Day, 1-Night Charter

Step aboard Cool Change and experience an overnight escape that blends performance sailing with the natural beauty of Northland’s coastline.

Across two days, we explore a dynamic slice of the Bay of Islands, with the option to venture further depending on conditions. Sail past the Hole in the Rock, discover sheltered anchorages, or cruise toward more remote stretches for those seeking a little more time under sail.

Days are shaped around your pace. Enjoy the thrill of sailing between islands, drop anchor in clear, sheltered bays for a swim, or take a paddleboard ashore to explore quiet beaches and hidden coves. For those who prefer to take it all in, the open layout of Cool Change offers the perfect vantage point to relax and enjoy the journey.

Wildlife encounters are often part of the experience, with dolphins, seabirds, and occasionally whales or seals seen along the way.

As evening approaches, we anchor in a secluded bay. Unwind onboard with a relaxed meal and take in the stillness of your surroundings before settling in for the night.

This overnight charter offers a taste of true New Zealand cruising, combining time under sail with the freedom to explore beyond the shoreline.
