Introduction

Welcome aboard!

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

comfortablevery safe

A Bavaria Vision 44, has cruised Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia, Labuan, Brunei, Palau, PNG, Australia, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and now based in Whangarei, New Zealand.

Our yacht has three double cabins and two heads with showers. She's fast, very comfortable and well equipped with Cat 1 safety equipment including 8-man liferaft, sat-phone, EPIRB, VHF & SSB, RADAR, multiple GPS chartplotters and AIS. Also: autopilot, generator, water-maker, TV & DVD, kayaks, fishing & snorkeling gear, Powerdive, etc, etc. The aim is to be safe and have fun...

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyeasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyrespectfulconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasicksense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaninggood with maintenance

This summer season, we'll be exploring the Hauraki Gulf - Bay of Islands coast, all low-key stuff, starting with a cruise from Whangarei-Opua before Xmas. We have space for a couple of crew, someone who's game to help with boat prep and the daily chores. Not all grind, though - we expect to have some fun along the way!

We ask for a contribution of NZ$40 pd towards your own F&B, less if you are TT. You’d also be expected to cover any extra costs ashore, eg the odd visit to pub or restaurant. All other boat costs are for our account, including fuel, marina fees, etc.

Please drop us a line/wave if interested.
