Beautiful sunset cruise. - Great evening on the water. Had a nice swim before setting sail. So great when Luke turned off the motor and let the wind work for us. So quiet. Lovely evening and great captain.

Evening Island Sail, and views, along with some historical info, of the Bay Of Island, via Catamaran - Really nice and calming, aspect to the area. The Catamaran was wonderful. And I will say the same thing, as previous. To begin Luke ( owner, pilot, dad to a cute girl) was real cool. He learns ur name , and then demands u hand over ur shoes. Now it is time for a plug, on his very nice Female companion. She assisted me from the booking to helping me park my car correctly, while she stood on the boat. The beautiful, idea about this, was we got a background discussion of Luke's passion in his sailing and dang proud of his Catamaran, and knowledge about the upkeep. It was pretty neat as I have never been in the Pacific for a dip. OH, lets not forget the communicative, group. that we had. Very nice group. Had fun, and the weather was wonderful.

Serene Sundowner sailing experience. - Jason and Carmen ensured the eight couples aboard our two-hour evening cruise had a relaxing, beautiful evening sail. The swim stop was a highlight. Highly recommend Barefoot Sailing Adventures. Wonderful way to enjoy the Bay of Islands on the water.

Fantastic evening. Want to do the full day now😁 - Had the best time aboard. It was extremely relaxing and had a great swim jumping off the boat. Price was extremely good given the opportunity we will go back up north and take the family to do the full day charter

Great way to wind down - Perfect way to wind down after a long day. Luke was a great host and did a great job. He allowed a couple of passengers to drive which was fun! He was comfortable chatting or just letting you chill and enjoy the ride.

Sundowner Cruise with Barefoot Sailing - Had a lovely time on the 2 hour Sundowner cruise at Paihia. Not quite what we planned as we had to get a tender to the catamaran - and my elderly friend was absolutely terrified getting on and off. Oir skipper, Luke, was incredibly kind and reassuring and, once on the boat, she relaxed and really enjoyed herself - as did I. Being under sail was lovely and the evening swim was delightful.
