Join us for a Sailing Adventure in the beautiful Bay of Islands, with a small personalised group. Our main goal is for everyone to experience a day they'll never forget. You don't have to be a sailor to join us but you're more than welcome to take the wheel and help out. We can instruct and show you the ropes or you can just sit back, relax and let us do the work. The trip includes an island stop, a healthy fresh lunch and activities.

Our day trip with Dave was incredible. Excellent stories, great sailing which everyone joined in with and the best sandwiches in New Zealand. Would recommend to anyone!

Dave was a kind captain. Where we got disappointed was we booked the boat for ourselves for a Private experience. We were told speargun fishing, sight seeing, and actual sailing. We had a baby with us so thought it would be good to get the boat to ourselves.

1400 NZ$.... 6 hours. Had we booked 4 seats at $520 NZ$ which was an option, we would have paid over half as much. Thing is, he did the same tour, even the same lines.

What was the extra for? Nobody knows. 3 stars because we were all safe and we got some good sights. Would 100% not recommend a private tour. He did not know how to tailor the trip for us and did not want to listen to requests or talk outside his standard touring speeches. We don't mind spending money but we do mind being taken advantage of which is what this felt like in then end because there was not value add for the extra we paid.

We loved the water but overall disappointed with the spend. She's a Lady has huge potential but recommend sticking to regular tickets, skip the private charter. Hope this saves you some money.

Dave was our captain, not only did he take us to the most stunning location for lunch, he kept us entertained with stories and also facts around the bay and wildlife. We even managed to catch a glimpse of dolphin, penguin and shark. We had a lovely time with some kayaking, swimming, hiking. Lovely simple lunch was included. Highly recommended - 10/10 from all in our group.

Me and my partner had the highlight of our trip to the bay of islands aboard 'she's a lady'.

A safe and comfortable sail with skipper dave to a beautiful and secluded golden sand beach, where we could swim in warm water, kayak, and adventure in the outer islands, topped off with a generous lunch, and a slow and insightful sail back to Paihia Harbour.

I genuinely enjoyed this more than words, and couldn't recommend this sailing adventure with this skipper highly enough.

Our day out sailing with Dave on She’s a Lady was amazing!! The adventure we went on in the 6 days we stayed in Paihia. Dave’s affinity with the ocean, the islands and his beautiful yacht is so cool to experience and be a part of for a day. The islands are amazing and Stingray Bay where Dave took us for a swim, kayak, hike and lunch has the most incredible clear, emerald coloured water. We were gifted an incredible experience in being surrounded by a large pod of wild bottlenosed dolphins whilst swimming to shore from She’s a Lady - a once in a lifetime experience!!

One phone call from inimitable Liz at the Information office on the Russell pier secured us two tickets to sail on She’s a Lady. We had a delightful day, the weather was most agreeable and we watched dolphins hunt their brunch, penguins bobbing around and stingrays gracefully moving through the emerald waters. We snorkelled, we warmed ourselves in the sunshine, we ate a sandwich and fruit (included) on a deserted beach and enjoyed the company of host, David, and his inside knowledge of the Bay of Islands. A genuinely enjoyable day and a highlight of our grand tour.

Had a wonderful time sailing with Skipper David on She's a Lady in the Bay of Islands. We fished, kayaked, swam and hiked at Waewaetorea Island. The wind was great too, and we sailed a lot. Everyone was welcome to help as much or as little as they pleased. And David's sandwiches were awesome!

We loved our trip on She's a Lady. David was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic - it was infectious.

I knew nothing about the mechanics of sailing, so loved the option to get involved hoisting sails and steering.

Our stop at Sting Ray Bay was magical. Picture Perfect for the Insta !

Loved David's door stop sandwiches for lunch too - made with love and music. A great day, topped off by catching a huge King fish on the way home.

Wanted the Lear Jet Experience. Got quoted for a Private Charting Experience. Sunset plus Star gazing the important navigation Astros in the paradise of the Bay of Islands. Captain very knowledgeable. A true Navigator. Excellent sea stories (The Monkey Island).
