Your dinner cruise begins at Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour, where an expert captain welcomes you aboard the 50-foot (15-meter) sailing yacht. After a safety briefing, set sail across the waters of Waitemata Harbour, gliding past waterfront highlights including Auckland Harbour Bridge, the Ferry Building and the iconic Sky Tower—New Zealand’s tallest building.
Your captain points out the sights that you pass, such as the volcanic cone of Mt. Eden, which hovers on the outskirts of the city. Hear live commentary about the national pastime of sailing, including the hosting of the America’s Cup. If you’d like, you can assist the crew to hoist the sails or try your hand at steering the boat. Or simply enjoy the breeze and relax with a drink, purchased from the sailboat’s bar.
While you sail, take a seat in the dining room for a 3-course dinner. Afterward, savor the city views as Auckland illuminates in the evening light of dusk.
After your cruise, your tour ends back at Viaduct Harbour.

Great experience. Fun night which included a 3 course dinner (casual style). Remember to rug up though!

So much fun! We really lucked out with the weather and had a wonderful (but chilly) evening on the water in this beautiful sailboat. Peter the captain was friendly and laid back, and his two-person crew took good care of us, serving food and drink, while also tending to the boat. We did go down in the cabin to eat dinner as it was dark and we thought it would be easier, but remained topside for the rest of the meal and sailing. We had fantastic night views of the Auckland skyline and sailed under the lit up bridge. The food was good and filled us up. If you want something a little different from the typical “dinner cruise,” this is it!

A sunny day that turned showery as we prepared to board but this didn't deter us or the operator. Showers cleared to an awesome evening with spectacular views and a great meal to enjoy. Peter and the crew were informative and encouraged everyone to feel at home. We had one reluctant child but she had the 'best time EVER' and the memories will remain with us all for a long time.

Sail left the harbor downtown and went out on the water for about 3 hours. Food was pretty good and the views watching the sunset was amazing. Would definitely recommend if you want some peace on the water.
