Bareboat Charter

Great Escape yachts are perfect for exploring the compact, sheltered cruising in the Bay of Islands. The yachts are easy to manage short-handed and fun to sail. The lifting keels on some of the boats allow you to sneak into private bays and take the best spot right off the beach!

“We took a Noelex 30 out for four days with our two sons, 15 & 12 years old, and it was just awesome. Nicely kitted out yacht that was easy to manage and good to sail. There’s nothing nicer than waking up in a beautiful bay after a night on the water, and the friendly and helpful owners of Great Escape made everything ‘easy as’ – we’ll be back!” TripAdvisor Reviewed by Faaaarrrrrkkk, 23 May 2019
