Step aboard The Faith for an exceptional cruising experience over the waters of the magnificent Fiordland National Park.
We found Faith and her crew, Jackie and Paul to be a wonderful combination. Although Faith is an elderly lady she is charming and still up to the task of a gentle crossing of Lake Te Anau and gave us a lovely experience on a beautiful afternoon. Jackie and Paul looked after us with charm and professionalism with endless cups of tea (bone china of course) and a delicious selection of edible comestibles. The short nature walk to the hidden island lake was a nice addition with Jackie's informative chat about trees and wildlife on the way. Five stars all round!
What a wonderful afternoon spent on the FAITH. The trip included drinks and canapés and much more. For nature lovers such as us there was a bonus. We berthed near a local forest for a long nature walk where we learned about local flora and fauna. On our way back my wife was persuaded to take the wheel and I helped out with the sails. We had a full tour of the boat and learned about her history. The scenery was stunning and our hosts Paul and Jackie could not have looked after us any better. The whole trip was excellent value for money.
We loved the overall experience, beautiful scenery, the staff were awesome and the service was outstanding. Thank you we will come back to do another and will highly recommend to others.

Unique, relaxing experience
My partner and I went on the explorer cruise. It was just us two which made it very special. The faith itself is a pure beauty and both the co owner George and skipper Marie were very knowledgeable about her. It was interesting learning about her history. The service was absolutely amazing and we both felt very relaxed and welcome. The cruise included drinks and food which was great. We also got to take a walk in the fiords with George to the hidden lakes. Overall, the view, walk, sail and service were top notch and I would highly recommend this cruise.
