Shore Things

Uncover nature in its purest form when sailing out of Melbourne, Sydney, and Auckland to the most captivating cities in the Southern Pacific. Our voyages feature overnight stays across the Tasman Sea’s stunning seaports, offering the unique opportunity to gaze into the sky — where southern constellations create a glimmering orb above the Tasmanian capital of Hobart, and mornings start with marveling at the sunrise on the eastern horizon in Sydney and Tauranga.

Book early and save before you get on board for the lowest rates on select Shore Things. All Shore Things are bookable on the Sailor App 120 days prior to sailing (135 days for RockStar and Mega RockStar Sailors) or with your First Mate. Shore Things are subject to change due to pricing, availability, and weather conditions.
