Thank you very much for your outstanding review the team really appreciates it. It is good to know you find us cost effective. I agree Skipper Chris has a great sense of humour and can be very entertaining. A close up view of the carvings can be rare as it is very weather dependent. You must have had a calm day to get as close as a kayak.

tbmike thank you for the detailed review. Much appreciated. Will pass on your thoughts to Chris and Tiffany

Thank you for providing your feedback. We apologize that our service did not meet your expectations. We will try to do better with our communication. I sent you a private message through Viator as from past experience customers have not received the emails. The email address I receive is a code not a real email address. The Skipper often puts it to the vote at the Boat and unfortunately 8 of the 11 did not want to sit in the rain for 2.5 hours. It is such a shame you did not take the refund the Skipper offered you at that point. Once again thank you for the feedback.

Wow, thank you! It is so good to read about how you settled in and made yourself at home on our boat. We do try to have a few necessities like towels, ponchos, hats and mittens for those people who are caught out unprepared. The kitchen is really cute, so compact with everything in its place. Thank you for making hot drinks for everyone. Young children often find the movement of the boat so relaxing they have a snooze. The team will be very happy to learn you had such a good experience.

Thank you very much for you recommendation, we really appreciate you taking the time to review us. The team is pleased you found the carvings impressive and Sail Barbary was easy to find and book. When the weather is squally it can be hard to hold a safe position at the carvings. We normally try to give you as long as possible to view them, taking into account other boats and weather.

Thanks Steve It was a good sail. Time at the carvings was limited due to the wind and turn around area but glad to get you there and to experience the carvings and a good windy sail on a boat well equipped to handle what you had and much more. :)

We are thrilled that your sail boat experience was the highlight of your time in New Zealand. It is good to know you returned home with some wonderful memories. Captain Chris will definitely be happy to read what you wrote! He tries hard to make everyone's experience safe and special, so thank you.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review, it was a pleasure to have you sail with Sail Barbary. The skipper does have a cheeky sense of humour and you are correct those bean bags at the back do seem to be a popular place to sit. I am so glad you enjoyed our well trained ducks I think another skipper is working on a seagull, haha. Bring the bubbles next time you come!
