Great educational experience

Our group of friends found this to be very enjoyable, scenic and informative. The trip gives a different view of Auckland, including seeing someone bungy jump off the harbour bridge. The captain and his crew mate were very good at explaining the technical details of the electric hydrofoil, seeing it all in action was very interesting. The boat was beautifully clean and comfortable.

Fabulous Trip

This opportunity to experience this new technology is not to be missed! Very informative & very professional team. Such a comfortable & 'amazingly quiet' boat trip shows the absolute potential for this type of technology for our future Ferry & pleasure boat industry. A 'Must Do' for locals as well as tourists.
