Our experience with Bayscapes Sailing Charters was nothing short of exceptional! Brad and Monique are phenomenal hosts who provide top-notch service and create an unforgettable adventure. Their attention to detail, warmth, and passion for what they do truly set them apart. The activities were fantastic! Paddleboarding on the serene waters was so peaceful, snorkeling revealed vibrant marine life, and the guided walk was both informative and fun—Brad and Monique made every moment special. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and impeccable hospitality, Bayscapes Sailing Charters is the way to go. We can’t recommend them enough!

Incredible hospitality and organisation of the charter. Everyone was blown away and continue to talk about it, and relive those memories. The attention to detail with the 'just married' sign, provision of food, and being taken to Honeymoon Bay, which was perfectly named, was truly exquisite. Your warmth and sincerity were greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend BayScapes to our friends and family, a number of those who were there have said they would repeat the day if they were to get married, or celebrate a milestone birthday.

We had the best day on The Bayscapes catamaran. Brad and Monique were fabulous hosts and very friendly and professional. The boat was super clean and very organised. They had lots of activities to do and took us to some beautiful islands. Paddle boarding, snorkelling, island walk. Lunch was amazing and they very happily catered for our lots of different dietary needs, ie vegan, dairy free & gluten free. We were super relaxed on their bean bags and our elderly parents were able to sit very comfortably in the beautiful spacious cabin. We couldn’t have wished for a better experience.

Sailing in the Bay of Islands aboard this beautiful catamaran was a major highlight of our visit to NZ. We really enjoyed Brad and Monique's hospitality, knowledge and sailing skills. They provided great food & snacks, opportunities to explore a couple of islands, a lovely sail through the bay and had stand up paddle boards and snorkel gear available for use. Our private sailing charter with them was outstanding. Highly recommended!

Super fun day excursion! The guides are top notch with super fun personalities. Sailing was a blast. We lucked out and saw dolphins. The two hour stop with the hike and time in the water was a lot of fun. The box lunch was fantastic as well. We had my wife and three kids ages 15, 13 and 7 and two grandparents and all of us had a great time. All around great time. Fun for all ages. Highly recommend.

One of the best boat charters we’ve taken anywhere in the world. Wonderful clean and comfortable boat, tasty lunch catered from a local restaurant, and a friendly and knowledgeable crew (Brad and Monique). Zero complaints and would absolutely do this again next time we visit NZ. Highly recommended!

Absolutely BRILLIANT. Brad and Monique run a VERY professional, seamless operation from the initial booking to the trip itself. Can talk to others if wanted OR have quiet time. No pressure to 'mix'. We went for a short bush walk on the island we stopped at, even went paddle boarding (sitting only!) for the first time. Lunch was wonderful (even the provided gluten-free option). A very relaxing and enjoyable day. "Best day ever", said my wife. We would give it 6 stars if that were possible. Bugger it - here they are ... ****** !

It was a fantastic experience and very relaxing. Brad and Monique gave us the option to have our own playlist of music played or listen to theirs, and we opted to listen to theirs because we are such a diverse group with varied tastes. It was great, not having to think about the music and their list was very chill. They let us all do our own thing, and when we got to the island where we anchored up, they looked after us, by bringing all the paddle boards ashore, bringing those ashore by boat who didn’t want to swim and made sure our every need was catered to. The kids got to see fish and an octopus while snorkelling around in the beautiful, clear waters. The boat itself is beautiful, very comfortable and they keep it in pristine condition. Thank you so much for a wonderful day Bayscapes.
