Set Sail on an Unforgettable Auckland Harbour Sailing Cruise

Looking for an authentic way to experience Auckland, the “City of Sails”? Our Auckland harbour sailing cruise aboard Pride of Auckland offers a relaxed, local experience. You’ll enjoy an intimate and engaging atmosphere from start to finish.

Sail the Waitemata Harbour

Once onboard, you’ll take in stunning city views. As you sail across the inner Waitemata Harbour, the skyline unfolds before you. Because our crew brings deep local knowledge, they ensure you enjoy the best sailing cruise experience possible. As the wind carries you along, you’ll pass Auckland’s top city highlights. This includes a scenic sail beneath the iconic Harbour Bridge.

Relax or Get Hands-On

Whether you’d rather sit back or roll up your sleeves, the choice is yours. You can relax and soak in the scenery. Or, you can join the crew and help with the sailing. Either way, you’ll enjoy an afternoon on the water. Fresh coffee, tea, or hot chocolate comes included, along with a delicious sweet treat.

Optional Lunch Upgrade

For an extra touch of indulgence, upgrade to a picnic lunch box. This option is available on the 1:00 pm sailing only. Kermadec Restaurant, an award-winning local favorite, caters the meal. The upgrade includes a hot drink and costs $15 per adult or $10 per child. It runs daily from November through April.

Departure Times

Our Auckland harbour sailing cruise departs from Auckland Viaduct at 1:00 pm and 3:15 pm daily. So, you can easily fit this experience into your day.

So, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime Aucklander, don’t miss the chance to see the city from the water. Book your Auckland harbour sailing cruise today and discover why it’s one of the best ways to experience the City of Sails.
