Our Yachts
Gourmet Sailing operates two yachts, which you may wish to book separately or together depending the size of your group. All Gourmet Sailing charters are private, so your group will have exclusive use of the yacht. If you are in the Nelson area you are most welcome to come down to the marina for a tour of the yachts – please contact us to arrange a time.
Both yachts have comfortable bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, powerpoints to charge your electronic devices and spacious decks to enjoy the scenery. All bedding, towels and bathroom toiletries are provided. Both our yachts exceed Maritime New Zealand safety standards.
