Hop aboard Vigilant and enjoy a beautiful day sailing in the Bay of Islands. We only take 10 passengers, the small group allows you to lounge on the yacht comfortably and enjoy the islands privately. Our skipper lives here in Russell and knows plenty about it's history which they will be happy to share with you.

Vigilant is a beautiful traditional 42 ft Cutter rig yacht with a wineglass transom, teak decks, and a swamp kauri wooden interior. Enjoy an adventure away from the crowds of sightseers. Here, you can steer your own experience by helping the skipper at the helm, hoisting the sails or, if you prefer, just relaxing on deck while you journey from island to island. If you wish, you can swim on one of the beaches, snorkel and kayak. Comb the shores and walk around to see some great lookouts with panoramic views of the islands.

    Sailing the Vigilant is authentic. Capt “Nat” is a real sailor with a wealth of knowledge of the ocean the boat and the natural environment. The boat is in ocean going trim. Beautiful water for sure. Relaxed and friendly. Good food and beverage. Be sure to visit with Natalie about South Pacific sailing adventures. Yacht racing and Coast Guard rescue ops! Thank you for a great day! With respect. Scott and Mona

    Awesome experience! Tour guides were very informative and accommodating. My girlfriend is gluten free and they were able to still provide a delicious lunch. Sailboat has a bathroom and a place to store your belongings out of the elements. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!

    It's not like you're visiting different islands. You sail to 1 island and stay there for 1.5 hours. Then you go back. Was sorry about this

    We're got a full day out. Temp stop at a bay for some time ashore, followed by a lovely lunch (wrap, cookie and a cuppa). The Bay is stunning, you just don't know which way to look. Not having been back on the sea for some time, the trip was a great reminder for me on what I've been missing. Great to share some seagoing experience and related banter! Thanks ladies, really appreciated the trip.

  • A very special experience

    A fantastic day on a beautiful yacht. Sailed out and anchored off a superb sandy beach where I was able to snorkel, kayak and swim in clear water. This was followed by an excellent veggie wrap and an exhilarating sail back to Russell. The skipper/owner Natalie and her crew Izzy were so friendly and all of us on board had the opportunity to steer Vigilant on the way home. A really special and memorable day.

    We enjoyed our day on Vigilant with Captain Nat and first mate Dallas. There wasn’t enough wind in the morning to sail so we were motoring and weather was slightly overcast. We stopped and anchored at Motorua Island, which is very picturesque island. My husband and I did the hike around the island which was of moderate difficulty, not easy as per the signs, because although relatively short hike (took us about 1.5 hrs to complete the ~2.5m/4km) it did involve steep ascents and descents into each bay. Lunch provided was pretty tasty veggie burrito. Do BYOB and water bottle to refill on water. The sun and wind came out in the afternoon and we did get a couple hours of very nice sailing and clients were allowed to take the helm. We liked the smaller group (max 10-11 clients) of the Vigilant sailing yacht versus the larger groups on the larger motorboats and catamarans doing similar Bay of Islands charters.

  • Wonderfull relaxing day with Nathalie on the Vigilant.

    On Friday 17 October, we had a wonderfully relaxing day on the Vigilant with Nathalie (the captain). Apart from us (4), there was only one other passenger on board. The weather was beautiful (almost too beautiful, because in the morning there was too little wind to sail). Around noon, we moored at Motorua Island for a beautiful walk on this uninhabited island and bird sanctuary. Back on the boat, we were served a delicious vegetarian wrap. The wind had picked up a bit and on the way back to Russell, the sails were hoisted and we sailed back on wind power. With Nathalie's help, you can even take the helm yourself for a while. It was a bit cold for snorkelling and kayaking, but the possibilities are there. All in all, what a great day!

    We had a great day! BOOK NOW! Very experienced Skipper (also a local lifeboat skipper) - Natalie - who had great knowledge not just of the sailing area, but also about local wildlife and history. We did all the “extra” activities - hiking, snorkelling, swimming, kayaking- - we saw a pod of dolphins, a bronze shark, lots of different birds - sadly not the elusive penguin this time! We’ll have to go again! Food was delicious, the company great and we would really recommend this trip.
