Yacht charter on a classic gaff cutter in the stunning beauty of the outer Marlborough Sounds. Combine the pleasure of traditional sail with the isolation and natural beauty of the outer Sounds. Genuine service and wonderful home cooked meals with an international flavour. Based in idyllic French Pass, we conduct day tours in Admiralty Bay and extended cruising in the Marlborough Sounds, D'Urville Island, and Tasman Bay.
Steadfast was built over a 16 year period in Western Australia of WA hardwoods on the lines of the famous French pilot cutter "Jolie Brise". Displacing 40 tonnes, she is a little ship, with solid bulwarks, timber decks and block-and-tackle rigging. Whether ghosting in light airs or heeling over to a fresh breeze, she is surprisingly responsive, and a pleasure to sail. Please contact us for details.
