Meet Mana Island Sailing Adventures
Owner
and skipper Michael Peters has been sailing the Cook
Strait area and Marlborough Sounds for more than a decade. There
are lots of places that are old favorites and lots of places
still to be explored. Some of the best
destinations include Bay of Many Coves, Furneaux Lodge in Endeavour Inlet and Ship Cove -
the beginning of the internationally famous Queen Charlotte walking
track. I can take you there and many other places in the safety and comfort of an ocean
going yacht.
The
yacht "Paikea" is a production built steel Roberts 345 -
internationally recognised for its strength and seaworthiness in the
roughest of offshore waters. Paikea was originally used for offshore
passage making and has carried its owners safely on extended blue water
cruises of the pacific islands, including Tonga, Fiji and New
Caledonia. 
Government
rated for international blue water cruising, Paikea is now
approved for domestic commercial charter work under Maritime New
Zealand's Safe Ship Management system. The skipper, Michael, has
commercial launchmaster and coastal skipper qualifications.
Give sailing a go! I can also teach you the basics
of keel boat sailing, and give you essential tips about sailing the
Cook Strait and the Marlborough Sounds that will allow you to traverse
these waters in safety and confidence. Bring the whole team
and make an exciting day of it!
