★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent trip - we have some prior sailing experience and the 5 day trip was perfect to help us transition from crewing to skippering safely. Lovely staff, great teaching and would definitely recommend!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Without any prior experience in sailing, my girlfriend and I initially booked a 2-day course, and booked two further days later on. We enjoyed our time with the Great Escape team very much, and we are taking wonderful memories back home.
Julie is a superb teacher, she is demanding and emphatic. We had a very steep learning curve, and after 3-4 days of guidance I feel quite comfortable to sail a boat without a teacher on board.
Beside learning how to sail, we had a wonderful time enjoying the beauty of the Bay of Islands. From aboard, we saw New Zealand's iconic little penguins, a whale (!!) just 5m from our boat, lots of sea birds, and of course the picturesque coasts of many islands.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such an awesome experience. The training is so thorough and Daryl was SO knowledgable, patient and friendly as were Julie and Bill. What a way to see the Bay of Islands and learn a new skill. Couldn't recommend more. Thanks so much to the Great Escapes team :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My husband and I just completed Great Escape’s 5 day learn to sail course and can’t recommend them highly enough. We learnt so much in only 3 days with Darryl & Bill and are now hooked on sailing and booked in for more! Very professionally run operation with Julie & Bill at the helm. What an asset to our NZ tourism industry, both domestically and internationally. Thanks so much.
Tasi & Adrian Hill, Auckland NZ.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had such an awesome time! Learned to sail for 3 days with the wonderful and patient Di.
Josh and the team did an awesome job looking after us and helping us plan our overnight trip on our self sail around the BOI. We set of confident we had had great instruction and advice for a great family holiday- safety and fun are paramount with this team.
Our kids are 12,12 and 15 and they all had a blast. Highly recommend Great Escape sailing and their crew- we’ll be back ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My daughter and I have just finished our third bareboat charter. First two times were day sails, this time was two days with an overnight. We absolutely loved it every time. Julie and Bill are helpful and accommodating, the boats are great fun and the sailing ground is awesome. We've seen dolphins, lots of seabirds, beautiful bays and islands, snorkeled on coral and seen loads of fish and some sting rays. What an affordable way to have the time of your life sailing! Best of all: no boat depreciation, maintenance, repairs or modifications to do ?! Highly recommend it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We absolutely loved our experience with Great Escape! We did the 6-day: Learn-to-sail then Sail-yourself Adventure. Beforehand we were feeling nervous about the prospect of sailing by ourselves for 3 days but our training with our instructor set us up perfectly and we felt very comfortable setting off by ourselves. Highly recommend - it is the best way to see the Bay of Islands. Julie, Bill, and the team are super helpful and lovely.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We did the 6-day: Learn-to-sail then sail-yourself adventure in July 2020 having no previous sailing experience. It was the best thing we did - ever! Julie is a great teacher and we learnt so much. Sailing ourselves around the islands on the last 3 days was an incredible experience that we will never forget. Highly recommend Great Escape!
