She's a classic

Take the helm, hoist the main, set the mizzen and experience the Hauraki Gulf as in yesteryear on board the gracious yacht Ethel. Built in 1896, Ethel was originally a stores and transport vessel.

The yacht has been fully restored and is now available for a variety of sailing options, ranging from a two-hour harbour cruise to an all-day charter. You can sail yourself under the expert guidance of the crew, or sit back and let them do the work as you enjoy the romance of classic sailing, and even enjoy an on-board lunch at the mooring in Viaduct Harbour. The cost of cruises starts at $75.
