Exceptional food and wine are an essential part of the cruise. An experienced chef is available on request to prepare gourmet meals from fresh, local produce.
Aboard Bucket List, explore the dramatic coastline with golden beaches, secluded coves and tranquil harbours. Northland’s Bay of Islands is a land rich in unique nature and history. For those that love beaches and water activities, it’s paradise. There are over 140 islands within the bay full of natural beauty and inhabited by native wildlife on land and sea. Ten of the larger islands available to walk and explore.
When I did the research and read “Bucket List” I thought “This could be it!” I wasn’t wrong! An absolutely amazing day that none of us will ever forget. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, great food and astounding fun-filled water activities on this truly beautiful vessel. With love and hugs from your newly adopted family members.
An exceptional week’s charter. I seldom find I can say this, but what Alan, Karen & Conrad provided was beyond my expectation. A truly memorable and enjoyable time was had by all!
Thank you so much for a wonderful week of family fun, eating crayfish, and mussels in Karen’s Thai curry, yum. Our wonderful skipper who kept us safe and of course I must mention Trout Valley & Cecelia, and dear old Moet. I loved climbing Rawhiti hill, I want to be buried there, on top of the world with my Maori brothers. I nearly forgot your fresh bread Karen, mmm. I could fill up the pages ahead retelling the wonders of New Zealand’s green seas, rugged scenery and sitting serenely in the beautiful bays, sleek, spacious, “State of the Art” Alan & Karen’s Bucket List beauty.
My daughter, Camille, booked this amazing birthday weekend for my 30th!!! Birthday. We all had a marvellous time – fishing (caught 3 snapper for dinner) & Sam dived with Conrad (skipper) for scallops which we dined on that night with crayfish on the BBQ. Alan & Karen were very hospitable, taking us to gorgeous bays, beaches & fabulous walks. Many, many grateful thanks- we all had a super time – the best birthday I could ever have asked for, thanks family. Hope to be back for more than a weekend!
