Wonderful day on the water. Comfy bean bags on deck allowed us to sit back and relax. Brad and Monique were great hosts. Lovely swim near the beach.

We recently did the 6-hour Bay of Islands cruise and had an absolutely wonderful day. From start to finish, the experience was well run and genuinely enjoyable. The crew were a real highlight — friendly, approachable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They shared interesting local knowledge throughout the trip without it feeling scripted, and they made everyone feel welcome and relaxed. The scenery was stunning the entire way, with plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the islands up close. The pace of the cruise was just right: never rushed, but with lots to see and do over the six hours. Everything felt well organised and comfortable on board, making it easy to just sit back and enjoy the experience. This cruise is a great way to see the Bay of Islands and learn more about the area, whether it’s your first visit or you’ve been before. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Northland — a memorable day out and great value for the time spent.

The two owners were very nice, and treated all of the passengers well. The sailboat was great, and the small number of passengers (less than 20) made for a great day.

Had the best day exploring the Bay of Islands with Bayscape Charters. The catamaran was spotless and very comfortable. The lunch was filling and delicious, better than we had expected. The options for a walk, snorkeling, paddle boards and swimming made for an adventurous day. Brad and Monique are very friendly, professional, knowledgable yet laid back and made the whole experience exceptional. The blankets, when it got windy, were a nice touch. I highly recommend them.

Great experience, beautiful day on the water! Comfortable on board with the bean bags, and lunch was hearty and tasty. After sailing out to the island, we had 2 hrs to hike/swim/paddle board/snorkel and eat lunch before heading back to the wharf. It was a wonderful day!

Brad & Monica were an exceptional, professional class act. The wind and general weather were attrocious. Brad offered anyone who wished to leave that they would get a full refund. We all chose to go sailing. The winds and seas got worse as we left the harbor behind. About 30 minutes into our sail, Captain Brad decided , because of deteriorating conditions, to go back to the harbor. They gave everyone a full refund, gave us all our delicious catered lunch boxes and offered us a 30% discount on another trip. It was a money losing trip for Brad & Monica but they took the high ground of choosing safety and being totally focused on their guests. I’d recommend them wholeheartedly.

Brad and Monique were fantastic! While it was unfortunate that we weren't able to make it out to the Islands due to the weather, we were so appreciative of their professionalism, excellent communication, and clear commitment to the safety and well-being of their guests.

I can’t even begin to describe the incredible day we had with Monique and Brandon! The boat was immaculate and very comfortable, the scenery incredible, the service impeccable and the lunch provided was delicious! Without going in to great detail about our cruise and sail around the bay of islands with wonderful commentary along the way, and a stop at a fabulous beach for swimming, hiking, paddle boarding, I very highly recommend this excursion! It has been the highlight of our time in Paihia!

We were a party of 7, mixed ages and all had a fabulous time. Would highly recommend Bayscapes to anyone visiting the area.
