Imagine yourself aboard a luxury yacht cruising the fabulous Hauraki Gulf. Head out for a days fishing on your own boat. Windsurf across the bay or take a ferry ride to a lonely island and relax on your own deserted beach. Swim with wild dolphins, ride the surf of the wild west coast beaches or tee off at a world class golf course....
