Sailing the South Pacific

As part of our Tales of the Sea talks, we’re excited to welcome Viki Moore from Island Cruising NZ with Sailing the South Pacific.

Ever dreamed of setting sail across the South Pacific, or exploring Fiordland and Stewart Island? ⛵️ Viki will share how to prepare yourself, your crew, and your vessel for long coastal or offshore adventures — covering safety equipment, seasons, weather, communications, cultural considerations, and all the spectacular places to visit along the way.

This is just one of the incredible stories and insights you’ll hear in our Tales of the Sea series — where passionate sailors and adventurers share their knowledge and experiences. ⚓✨
