This cruise was a highlight of our New Zealand trip! You cannot find a more dedicated and delightful crew than Adam, our captain, and Nina. In addition to the champagne/wine and canapes we learned the history of the 1935 boat, helped to hoist and then furl the sales, learned about the engine room while one in our group steered the ship, and generally had a beautiful cruise and then sail across the lake. I would highly recommend this outing and hope to bring more friends to sail if I am in Te Anau again in the future.

A truly magical trip. Adam and Megan were extraordinary hosts, both incredibly knowledgeable. Loved hearing about the history of Faith and how she made her way from Scotland all the way to Lake Te Anau. The scenery is simply breathtaking and the nature walk was fascinating. Fizz and food delicious too. This is a MUST do trip….and when you go, make sure you ask Adam to play his bagpipes! Just brilliant all round! Thank you

Feel so lucky to have gotten to have this experience! Such a beautiful evening on lake Te Anau, complete with drinks, food and stunning views. Yummy snacks, Gluten free/vegan food options! Captain Paul and first mate Riley were so welcoming, approachable and knowledgeable. Great history of the area and the boat. The owner had great communication and it was such a thoughtful guest experience. Such a unique, beautiful time, the highlight of the trip! Would highly recommend to anyone!

What an amazing trip. One of the best we have done. Adam and Megan are friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable. This is a 11/10 trip that exceeded our expectations. The boat is stunning, the morning tea was impressive and catered for those with specific dietary needs. It's a small group tour which meant you didn't feel like another number. The walk to the hidden lakes was a lovely and easy walk so you don't need any specific walking gear apart from decent sneakers as it can be muddy under foot. If you can check the weather before booking an afternoon breeze is good as they put up the sails to sail back to the dock. Unfortunately, we had no wind so despite putting up the sails we had to motor back. Still, that did not detract from the overall experience. For those interested in a Celtic experience, if Adam is your captain, he will bring out his bagpipes to top off the trip.

A most enjoyable, interesting and fascinating sail trip. Thank you very much for excellent service & hospitality!!!!

Unique, personal and wonderful family fun! We arrived in Te Anau late afternoon and scrambled to find a boat trip for our family of six. We will be forever grateful that we found spots on Faith - an incredible highlight of our South Island trip. We loved the small size, the delicious food, the cold drinks, the fascinating history, the surprise bagpipes and the majestic beauty of Lake Te Anau. What made this trip extra special was the staff - Adam and Paul made our kids feel welcomed and even included. It was all hands on deck on the ropes and behind the wheel! The kids loved it so much they chose to use their pocket money on Faith t-shirts and hoodies. No bigger compliment! Thank you, Adam and Paul (and those behind the scenes), for an unforgettable experience!

Adam and Megan took us on cruise across the lake and docked at a jetty on a remote and uninhabited shore for a short nature walk through the forest to a hidden lake. On our return we were treated to canapes and drinks on board. This was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. The boat itself dates from the 1930's and has a captivating history that Adam tells with great engagement - the boat is clearly now his hobby and he has carried out much major work on the boat himself. Adam and Megan are lovely and knowledgeable hosts who made us feel very special.

Our group of four (long term friends) booked a cruise on the lovely Faith with Adam and his team. The experience was absolutely fantastic, the crew were attentive , the scenery sensational. To top the trip off Adam piped us back to the wharf which was a lovely ending to a perfect day. Highly recommend this experience.

A truly magical and memorable evening cruise with lovely canapés and drinks. Really interesting to hear about the history of this amazing yacht. Adam the Captain (and owner) and Jason couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly. Then on top of all that Adam played the bagpipes as we headed back to shore which was extra special for my Scottish husband.

We loved our morningtea trip on the historic yacht Faith. The crew were attentive to every detail with relaxed personal service offering any drink you felt like throughout the trip. The individual platter of morning tea was delicious. Stunning scenery and interesting commentaries. ( real person commentaries not on a loud speaker!) So many amazing experiences in one morning; exploring the yacht, landing at the South arm of the lake, a walk through ancient forest to the hidden lakes, a swim off the boat, a turn at the helm or hoisting the sails. This trip was exceptional value.

Last weekend we had a glorious day onboard the lovely old lady, the MV Faith. We all had a fantastic day thanks to Captain Adam and first crew mate Jason - thanks guys for your awesome hospitality and expertise. Behind the scenes Megan worked wonders preparing our food for the day - to all three of you - please accept our heartfelt thanks. The weather was looking inclement to start with, but we pushed on to have a fantastic day - it even ended up being dead calm at the end of the Southern Arm. Had exciting times being ferried about in the RIB tender, fascinating and majestic sites to see. Thoroughly recommended - will definitely do that again.

While the food and drinks were so good, the scenery on the boat trip glorious, the bush walk a wonderland, it was the crew Adam and Jenni and the boat FAITH that added the X-factor.

We just celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary on the Faith 16 of us everyone loved the experience the crew do an amazing job. For three of us it was a 2nd and 3rd trip on the Faith and we enjoyed it just as much as previous. Thanks Adam your a legend loved the bagpipes to finish the journey. You really made their celebration something special.

Highly recommend this historic cruise on Lake Te Anua! Beautiful boat and fun crew! If you ask, Captain Adam may play the bagpipes for you!

Leisurely champagne cruise in Lake Te Anau, it was relaxing and fun. Captain Paul and Mate Ginny were delightful. Historic motor sailboat was cool too.
