Sounds by Sail

Your own private yacht escape. Sail the Marlborough Sounds like you never have before.

Set sail from the tranquil Te Mahia Bay jetty and discover the beauty of the Marlborough Sounds aboard your own private yacht. Sounds by Sail offers skippered sailing adventures through the bays and inlets of the Kenepuru and Pelorus Sounds - where native bush meets turquoises water, dolphins play, and time slows to the rhythm of the sea. Each journey is yours alone - no crowds, just the breeze, the Views, and the taste of Marlborough to accompany you.

4 hour Sail - Taste of the Sounds

A perfect afternoon escape , Enjoy the local Marlborough wine, freshly marinated mussels, breads, and dips as you glide through peaceful bays and hidden coves.

Full-DaySail - Explore & Indulge

Spend the day exploring remote anchorage and beaches. Morning tea and local-inspired lunch are served on deck, paired with a glass of Marlborough wine as you relax and unwind.

Sail Dine Stay – A night to remember 

A romantic overnight experience. Savour a three - course dinner on deck as the sun sets, then awaken to a breakfast with fresh fruit, yogurt, muesli, muffins, coffee and tea as the morning light dances across the Sounds.

2 Day skippered overnight charter - Your Adventure, You Way

Sail by day with your local Skipper, then anchor in a quiet bay for a self - catered evening under the stars. The yacht is yours overnight - with the skipper returning the next morning for another day of sailing.

From romantic escapes to family adventures, Sounds by Sail offers the perfect way to celebrate life on the water - private, peaceful, and proudly Marlborough.
