Tall ship sailing on the R. Tucker Thompson (day sail)

Sail the Bay of Islands on Northland’s iconic tall ship, the R. Tucker Thompson, for a truly memorable holiday experience. Get involved with sailing the ship, set the sails, ride the bowsprit and climb the rigging. Alternatively, sit back and relax while our crew does the work. The ship is comfortable and steady. Our friendly crew makes it a personal experience. Morning cream tea and a BBQ lunch are included. With the wind behind her, the Tucker is one of Bay's most eco-friendly vessels so you know your carbon footprint is low. We operate as a charitable trust, offering multi-day youth development voyages in the winter. Summer profits are invested straight back into our young people.
