Nathalie and Dallas were great hosts to a perfect day! We motored to an island that allowed us to take a great hike to the front side where we snorkeled and enjoyed our own private beach. When we returned to the boat we enjoyed a great lunch followed by a sailing trip around the islands and back to the dock! They had a great deal of local knowledge as well as historical knowledge that they shared with us during the outing. The weather was perfect as was the trip!

We rented the boat to ourselves for the day. Nat was great at communicating and while the weather was not perfect we had a great time. We sailed out to an island (1.5 hrs) and then did a full hike around the island (1.5 hrs) had a delish lunch on the boat with our wine and then sailed back. Nat was great to talk to and learn more about the area. On our way back we got to see some dolphins!

Highly recommend - looking around at the packed charter boats full of tourists I was very happy we chose Vigilant. Booked this as a private charter for my family with 5 kids ranging from 5 - 15. Nat and Anita were super relaxed crew but did everything to ensure everyone was having a great time and with such age ranges that is not always easy. Weather played it's part, yacht had plenty of room, kids were happy, crew was great. Even my wife was happy despite being a chronic seasickness sufferer and reluctantly onboard. If you want a special Bay of Islands experience you don't need to look furthur.

We spent a magical day with Captain. Natalie and first mate, Matt. We are very experience sailors and much appreciated the opportunity to simply enjoy they experience and leave all of the work to the crew. They are competent , knowledgeable and friendly. Matt prepared a delicious lunch underway and Natalie accommodated all of our requests. Thank you!

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing an overnight charter on the yacht Vigilant, hosted and skippered by the amazing Nathalie. We can't say enough about how much Sue and I enjoyed this charter. We both love being on the water. So having a charter to finish our week in Russell was just the icing on the cake. Vigilant is a classic 42 foot hand crafted vessel full of the style and grace you can't find anymore. We took a great morning motor then a sail out in the bay, anchored for a swim, a scrumptious fresh salad and smoked chicken lunch, then embarked on more sailing in good breezes and took the helm from time to time. We went ashore and swam again, then anchored up for the night and were treated to a delicious crayfish dinner (the cray caught by Nic, Nathalies partner) accompanied by fresh beans from Nathalie's garden. Bubbles, wine, music, and watched the sun go down and heard the Kiwi's start calling from the island. A superb experience. Nathalie, is the skipper with the mostest. She is a super competent sailor, highly trained (coastguard too) and most of all she beams out good humour, positivity and fun from the second you step aboard. If you want a genuine, kiwi sailing experience, go and join Nathalie on Vigilant. If there was 6 stars we would rate this experience that highly. Thanks Nathalie!
