A day in the Bay – the Kiwi way!

Come join the Barefoot Sailing crew for a magical day sailing around the Bay of Islands. Trips depart daily from the Paihia beachfront, cruising amongst our beautiful marine playground aboard Kopiko. Our 33ft performance catamaran is built for speed and she gets you where you want to go in comfort and style! There’s lots of deck space to spread out and relax, so grab a bean bag and chalk up some leisure time.

Departing from Paihia beachfront  at 10am. The boat pulls right up to the beach where you can step aboard from the shore line. We set sail for our day’s adventure – wherever that may take us! With 144 islands, we really are spoilt for choice as to spectacular destinations for our day sailing adventures, we have our favourite spots of course! Either Urupukapuka, Motuarahia, Moturua, Waewaetoria to name a few.

There’s nothing better than exploring a remote island after sailing into a beautiful bay – it’s all part of the adventure! The boat anchors right up close to the beach where you can step off and enjoy a delicious packed lunch at a stunning picnic spot of your choice. There are short walking tails which can you can follow to find picturesque views wherever you look, soak up the sounds of the bird song. Also enjoy a refreshing swim, snorkel or simply dig your toes into the sand and relax – the choice is yours!

Once we’ve finished our island adventures we set sail again, making the most of your beautiful sea breezes on the home run.  So watch the wind fill the sails, kick back, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility – a perfect end to our Day Sailing adventures.

The Barefoot Crew offer you a great opportunity to experience day sailing at its best, in a world-renowned sailing destination. So grab some friends, bring the family or simply take some time out for yourself. Come enjoy a day of sun kissed skin, windswept hair, and salty smiles!
