We had a wonderful time aboard The Faith. Adam and Megan were the most gracious of hosts. We found the history of the yacht fascinating and the hike through the forest was a real treat. Drinks and canapés aboard the ship added to the enjoyment of simply taking in the breathtaking scenery. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Can't say enough good about our experience. The Faith is truly a gem of a vessel, offering an intimate half-day scenic cruise of picturesque Lake Te Anau.
We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the heavily treed Fiordland National Forest as we sailed along its shores and also first hand during the guided excursion by foot into this protected natural area. Adam and Megan were the most hospitable of hosts. All aboard enjoyed quality food and drink throughout the journey and were intrigued to learn of the colourful 90-year history of the Faith and the dignitaries who have been aboard. The crew went the extra mile to make all aboard feel welcome and be well informed. Using the most modern of translation devices, they were able to communicate effectively with all international guests who had the opportunity to not only learn about The Faith but be actively involved in the journey as they assisted with the sails and even helped steer the craft during its homeward leg...a unique and memorable experience for all aboard.
While Milford and, to some degree, Doubtful Sounds may be the big and most heavily advertised commercial options for a sail in the region, The Faith is a hidden treasure whom I, as a local, have enjoyed more than once. It was a pleasure and privilege to again sail with you and already looking forward to next time!
