Discover the Charm of Taihoa with Us

Before we set sail, let us introduce you to our pride and joy, Taihoa. She’s not just any boat, mate; she’s a classic wooden beauty built back in the 1940s down in New Zealand. Crafted from unique tropical hardwoods, Taihoa is a floating piece of history. She’s been lovingly maintained and is ready to take you on an unforgettable journey. It’s a labor of love, and it shows. From the polished wood to the sturdy rigging, every inch of Taihoa tells a story. And trust us, you’ll hear plenty of those as we sail the expanses of the Bay.
