You will be surprised to learn how affordable cruising on a private yacht is. The share-costs contribution is just NZ$950 per month.
Every day holds a new adventure. Sailing, fishing, exploring places where the tourists can't get to.
You have your own twin-share cabin; sailing tuition, navigation lessons (if needed) etc., meals, coffee, tea are included. Fresh fish every day, if we catch it.
Regrettably, a few have spoiled it for the rest.
Email in first instance, regarding space available for the time you wish to join and any questions you may have.
Space allocation is on a first come, first serve basis.
_____________________
At times I've had people not turn up when expected. (This means that someone else lost out on their sailing adventure).
On acknowledgement of your reserved space on board, please deposit the small token amount of NZ$200.- (or 100 Euros) at our bank in New Zealand. (Details of which, will be sent to you)
[email protected]
This deposit will be deducted from your initial contribution.
On boarding, you need to sign a crewing agreement and pay in advance on a monthly basis.
(The following is for off-shore voyages only)
### You will need to lodge with the skipper your passport (in case the yacht is visited by officials and you are not on board) and an
air travel ticket to your next destination or a surety (cash or travelers cheques) of sufficient funds to the equivalent value. (This is for Customs purposes only and can save a lot of red tape and aggravation with foreign officials).
The items will be returned to you, after your intended stay on board.###
You may bring as much duty free alcohol/smokes (no illegal drugs!) as you like, but nobody drinks alcohol on passages.
Smokers, please take it outside
I cruise for my own pleasure and enjoy the company of people who can afford to pay their own way in life.
So, bring your own drinks, chocolates, etc.
