Sharing our beautiful Bay of Islands

For me, the Bay of Islands is all about being out on the water, the bays, the channels, the inlets, the beaches, and the harbours. There is nothing like sitting in the cockpit of a yacht, watching the sun slip quietly down below the horizon after a day or more out exploring our beautiful Bay of Islands.

There are around 140 islands scattered in this compact cruising ground with beautiful anchorages to protect you from any wind direction. Distances are short.  You can choose one stunning location for lunch and another for dinner and an overnight haven.

Getting out on a Great Escape Yacht is a great way to enjoy this cruising ground  Click here if you know how to sail and would like to charter a yacht or Click here if you’d like to learn to sail.  And as well as sailing with Great Escape there are many ways to get out on the water in the Bay and plenty of maritime-themed activities to enjoy.   This short “Insider’s Guide” article shares with you some of my favourite ways to get out and enjoy the beautiful Bay of Islands.
